Who Teaches Health Education in Texas Secondary Schools?

Jacobs, Wayne J.; Wylie, Wayne E.

Journal of School Health, v65 n9 p365-68 Nov 1995

A survey examined characteristics of secondary educators in Texas teaching health education. Teachers with more preparation in health education were more confident and competent educators. Less than half had degrees in health education, and 10% had no academic background in health education. Most believed health education was as important as other courses. (SM)
