HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS
(8th - 12th grade)
In Person: If schools are open to visitors, we are happy mask up and present our health education programs to students in class as we traditionally do (no fee)
Synchronous (virtual "live"): We are presenting all of our health education programs virtually using video conferencing. This method of program delivery allows us to reach students in the classroom as well as those working remotely and gives students additional synchronous instruction time (no fee).
Asynchronous (virtual pre-recorded): All of our health education programs have been broken down into 12-15 minute modules for educators to use with students remotely. Each lesson includes a "show what you know" worksheet (no fee).
