Title: Schools and Health Education
Description: This e-book makes clear that there are several important ways health educators can foster the well being of school health children that merit further research and the attention of policy makers. All of the articles have something to say about children in the classroom setting, and in particular their exposure to personal and situational events that can impact their well being and educational attainment, and possibilities for developing the knowledge, skills, motivation, and support they need to choose health-enhancing behaviors. They comment particularly on the need to address teacher motivation, and involve parents. The research and ideas embedded in this e-book can assist in the development or improvements of school based health promotion programs and provide some direction about what we need to do in future and why.
