HEALTH EDUCATION...
It's Academic!
http://www.aacps.org/aacps/boe/INSTR/CURR/health/indexhlth.htm
Achieving health literacy for all students
is dependent upon a comprehensive health education program. Anne Arundel
County Public Schools provide students with curriculum designed from the
Maryland K-12 Health Education Learning Outcomes. The outcomes are
integrated throughout various disciplines. There is an emphasis on
knowledge, skills, and personal vulnerability.
All educators are responsible for increasing the awareness and
importance of health education for our students in Anne Arundel County.
Therefore, this web site was designed to network educators, parents,
community members and others that support the outcomes for the state of
Maryland. It is our goal for the students of Anne Arundel County Public
Schools to become healthy life-long learners.
