HECAT stands for Health Education Curriculum Assessment Training. This was a training that I attend last Friday. This is a new idea for teachers, schools, and districts to assess the curriculum that they are choosing. Core content areas do not have this specialized training yet, but are in the process of developing their own curriculum assessments. The two content areas that are already in use are the health education and physical education. What great content areas!! Anyway, the training was very beneficial. I went into the first part of the training thinking how am I going to sit for six hours, but the material was very useful and will help me greatly when developing my own health and physical education curriculum.
The modules that the health education curriculum assessment covers are:
Alcohol and Other Drugs
Healthy Eating
Mental and Emotional Health
Personal Health and Wellness
Physical Activity
Safety
Sexual Health
Tobacco
Violence Prevention
Healthy eating and physical activity will be my curriculum for the next two months. Remember if your not first your last.. i know you don't want to feel that way after running 13 miles. lol
