We worked with teachers and health care experts to write a model lesson plan for teachers to use during the campaign. The lesson explains the concepts of prevention, early detection, and health screenings. It also prepares students for an organized field trip to a health screening event at an HHC hospital or clinic. During the visit, students apply the knowledge and skills they have learned in the classroom. After the field trip, students reflect on their experiences and practice presenting information about health screenings to others.
We encouraged teachers to use the model prevention lesson plan during the month of October 2007. Teachers can download the lesson plan, including the teacher's edition followed by the student handouts, here:
