This guide for teaching health in grades kindergarten through 12, offers practical suggestions on the scope and sequence of health understandings, some experiences which children will need in developing these understandings, some ways of discovering the individual health needs and interests of children, and recommendations for the selection and use of materials and resources. Suggestions for school administrators and supervisors for establishing policies and organizing health instruction are also included. This may serve as a guide for planning in school systems which are analyzing the local needs and designing programs of instruction in health. In other schools, it may serve as a basis for evaluation of established health teaching programs. (Author/EK)
