This guide for pre-service and in-service teachers of all grades is packed with classroom ideas for promoting healthy lifestyle choices. Material is framed around the National Health Education
Standards and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's six risk behaviors. Early chapters address teaching to make a difference and teaching today's students. Later chapters focus on
life skills, healthy eating and physical activity, a tobacco-free and drug-free lifestyle, sexual health, and dealing with crises and critical issues such as terminal illness and suicide. The
book contains about 275 interactive teaching activities, more than half of which are new to this edition. There is also new material on information literacy, cyber bullying, and stress
management. A web site offers unit and lesson plans for every grade level, plus video clips, PowerPoint presentations, sample course syllabi, and assignment ideas. The authors are affiliated
