Supercharging Skills-Based Health Ed: Igniting Engagement and Impact

Skills-based health education is more than just a curriculum—it's a movement toward empowering students with the tools they need to make healthy choices for life. In this dynamic session, we’ll explore how to “supercharge” your health lessons to elevate both student engagement and instructional impact. Participants will dive into strategies that bring the National Health Education Standards (NHES) to life through active learning, critical thinking, and inclusive practices. Discover how to balance essential content with skill development, and how to use HealthSmart’s lesson design to streamline planning while maximizing outcomes. From snowball discussions to continuum activities, you’ll experience energizing techniques that get students moving, thinking, and connecting. Whether you're new to skills-based health or looking to refresh your approach, this session will leave you inspired and equipped to transform your classroom into a hub of health literacy and student voice.
