Ways to teach
Our Elements
Meet your mandates AND meet the needs of your students
“To me, good health is more than just exercise and diet. It’s really a point of view and a mental attitude you have about yourself.” ~ Angela Lansbury
Your Self Series (YSS) is an ideal Health curriculum because it meets National Health Standards in a project-based learning atmosphere.
Prepare them for life during school hours
“Well-structured after school programs effectively expand learning time for students, provide opportunities for collaboration with the broader community, and constructively fill those hours that, at best, are spent idly and, at worst, entice unsupervised youngsters into delinquent or high-risk activities.” ~www.education.com”
Build your students’ core sense of self
“Attention to social and emotional issues in school has become a necessity…” ~ Kimberly A. Schonert-Reichl
The competencies of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) are self-management, selfawareness, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision making (CASEL.org).
