Healthy Active Living Journal Secondary Cycle 1

(Larger Flash 9 version)

The Secondary Health Journal Team has produced a Cycle 1 teacher's guide and student workbook to meet the needs of teachers looking for a way to teach and evaluate the 3rd Physical Education Competency, “Adopts a healthy, active lifestyle.”    (Cycle 2 is in the works and will be ready soon!)

The main objective of the Healthy Active Living Journal is to enable the student to develop an action plan for the year that will encourage them to change or improve upon their health.  Resources are included to help the student keep track of fitness and lifestyle information. It is important for students to have the tools necessary to assess the impact of their actions on their own health. They are more likely to adopt a healthy, active lifestyle if they are aware of the factors that impact them in a positive or negative way.

This resource also focuses on reflection activities to allow learners to create their own meaning from the various learning experiences. This resource is based on the following assumptions:

➢     Engagement is increased when the content is relevant to the student.
➢     Giving students choices fosters success.
➢     As assessment is an integral part of learning, student self-assessment is fundamental.

The Health Journal Package includes a teacher's guide and a student workbook.

           

Both the guide and the student workbook are available to Quebec teachers in PDF form (downloadable) or on a CD, and are for personal classroom use only.

Interested teachers would be advised to contact their local board's Physical Education & Health consultant to receive their copy.
