蜜桃视频

Willis McAleese, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Health and Nutrition Science at 蜜桃视频, participated in the National Health Education Standards Training (NHES) of Trainers meeting in Atlanta, Ga., in late February.

The meeting was co-sponsored by the American Cancer Society and The American Alliance for Health Education (AAHE) and brought together leaders in health education from every state in the country.

McAleese was invited to be part of a four-person team representing the State of 蜜桃视频. The purpose was to train key leaders in school health education in the newly revised national health standards. Every grade, including prekindergarten through high school is addressed in detail in the new standards. Each state team will now go back to their home states to set up training workshops for teachers, administrators, school nurses and other health professionals so they can be part of the effort to properly educate youth in critical health related areas.

鈥淚t was an honor to be invited to attend the NHES meeting where the top school health education leaders from around the country were in attendance,鈥� McAleese said. 鈥淭he status of children鈥檚 health in the U.S. as well as in 蜜桃视频 will definitely be enhanced if the new health standards are taken seriously and actually taught.鈥�

McAleese noted that we are experiencing a time in our country featuring 鈥渁bysmal levels鈥� of obesity, physical inactivity, poor mental and emotional health, as well as drug, alcohol and tobacco use with our children.

鈥淭he training I received at the NHES conference will help me in turn, to train the educators and other health professionals in 蜜桃视频 to make a significant impact on the health of 蜜桃视频鈥檚 children and youth,鈥� he added. 鈥淚 have been a health and physical educator in 蜜桃视频 for 31 years, and I believe the new national health education standards will truly make a positive difference for 蜜桃视频鈥檚 children.鈥�
