8 Paradigm Shifts in Health Education Jess Lawrence www.cairnguidance.com @cairnguidance
1. Scare Tactics Scare Tactics Don’t Lead to Adoption of or Maintenance of Health Promoting Behaviors Jess Lawrence www.cairnguidance.com @cairnguidance
2. Teach Functional Knowledge What do students really need to know/be able to do to lead to a behavioral outcome? Jess Lawrence www.cairnguidance.com @cairnguidance
3. Use a Research-Based curriculum, or Based in Best Practice With so little time we have to teach health education, use research-based curriculum rather than your own lessons most of the time. Jess Lawrence www.cairnguidance.com @cairnguidance
4. Assemblies and Health Fairs Don’t Change Behavior What are your objectives? Jess Lawrence www.cairnguidance.com @cairnguidance
5. Prevention Education Should Begin 2 Years Before Initiation of a Behavior … or else it may be intervention. Jess Lawrence www.cairnguidance.com @cairnguidance
6. Use Data to Drive Curricular Decisions Know the data. Jess Lawrence www.cairnguidance.com @cairnguidance
7. Know State and Local Policies and Laws that Support Health Education Use policies and laws to support your program! Jess Lawrence www.cairnguidance.com @cairnguidance
8. Use the Coordinated School Health (CSH)/WSCC model! Health Education is one component of a larger school health model. Don’t work in silos! Jess Lawrence www.cairnguidance.com @cairnguidance
