HealthTeacher Great Site with 10 Day Free Trial

On the home page of HealthTeacher is this quotable quote; "Good health is contagious. You can pass it on." http://www.healthteacher.com/

According to their about us statement, "HealthTeacher was originally developed in 1999 by health educators and health professionals with the goal of providing a comprehensive online resource that would make it easy to teach good health habits to children."

On their site they offer K-12 lesson plans on a variety of health topics important to growing kids. Their curriculum not only enhances a student's understanding of the physical health, but helps develop their health consciousness. Their curriculum objective are stated as; 1) Build health literacy among those who teach health education. 2) Address the health and behavioral issues facing today's youth. 3) Help teachers overcome constraints that limit the provision of health education in the school setting.

HealthTeacher is not a free resource. They are an annual subscription information resource. Subscriptions run from $150 for individuals to $300 for schools. However, they do offer a ten day free trial with unlimited access to the site, its lesson plans and articles. Signing up for the free trial is easy and does not require credit card information.

The site is easy to navigate, very user friendly and the content valuable to classroom and alternative school teachers as well as homeschooling parents. Check out their 10 day free trial. You could get a lot of information and great ideas touring this site for 10 days.
