My Health ROCKS! Online courses and services to extend or supplant school-based health education programs to homes and communities
Abstract: In this product presentation, we address four key problems in American society: • We all know the chronic and wide spread problems of obesity and diabetes in our country. • Kids and parents are bombarded with bad choices as they are also overwhelmed with conflicting information about health and wellness. • By themselves, schools do not have the capacity or resources to fully address all kids’ needs with health and wellness given today’s challenges. • Many parents don’t have skills or information to guide their children through the process of learning to eat and live healthy. My Health ROCKS! is an online program to provide health and wellness education for K12 students. This presentation will focus on the elementary-level course. Through an 8-module structure facilitated by a certified health coach and supported by instructional designers and eLearning specialists, students engage in self-paced and facilitated activities that include hands-on activities with parents.
