Free Resources for Health Educaiton

Elevating Equity Literacy Project 

Developing equity literacy is important to disrupt bias and move towards social justice, but where do we start this journey? We offer this resource as a tool to support individual reflection and group discourse for educators across the K-12 school system, or for those interested in or associated with education spaces.

While there are many entry points into this work, we have opted to use definitions pulled from Paul Gorski's Equity Literacy for Educators document, added below for context (Gorski, 2017), as an organizational frame for this toolkit.

RMC Health Skill Guides:  RMC Health, in collaboration with local and national health educators, have created skill guides for the seven key health skills aligned with the National Health Education Standards and their performance indicators. The guides are designed to provide educators information on how to teach the health skills by breaking down each skill into manageable steps for students and providing example learning activities to introduce, reinforce, and assess each health skill.

SHAPE School Reentry: SHAPE America’s 2020-2021 School Reentry Considerations: K-12 Physical Education, Health Education, and Physical Activity is intended to guide administrators, staff, and teachers as they prepare an environment for safe and supportive instruction using one of three models of learning:

• In-school instruction with physical distancing
• Distance learning
• Hybrid learning (defined as a combination of in-school instruction with physical distancing and distance learning)
