The Healthful Living Education program promotes behaviors that contribute to a healthful lifestyle and improved quality of life for all students. This curriculum, when fully integrated, supports and reinforces the goals and objectives of its two major components--health and physical education. When the concepts of these two areas are integrated, learning is enhanced to its maximum. The Healthful Living Education Teacher Handbook is designed to help educators in the implementation of the Healthful Living Education curriculum. Sections for each grade level cover the 10 contents areas, outlining specific competency goals, objectives, and sample measures that can be used when developing learner outcomes, curriculum, or student assessment. The content areas are: (1) preparatory; (2) stress management; (3) substance abuse; (4) nutrition and weight management; (5) self-protection; (6) relationships; (7) personal fitness; (8) recreational dance; (9) sports and games; and (10) developmental gymnastics. Two appendices cover mandated HIV/AIDS education guidelines, and physical education skills, practices, and suggested resources. (Contains 37 references.) (ND)
