Welcome to 9th Grade Healthful Living
Course Description:
The intent of the North Carolina Healthful Living Standard
Course of Study is to establish competency goals and objectives
for the teaching and learning of behaviors that contribute
to a healthful lifestyle and improved quality of life
for all students.The NC Healthful Living Standard Course of Study
is a combination of two content areas:
health education and physical education. The two
courses will complement each other as reflected in the
Essential Standard Strands and Clarifying Objectives.
Attention should also be given to ensure students
experience a comprehensive sequential educational
program that involves learning a
variety of skills and concepts that are health-enhancing.
These two courses are an exploration of what constitutes
good health. We will explore ways to maintain good
health through hygiene, nutrition, mental health,
emotional health, social health, and physical health.
We will also explore what causes health to deteriorate
mentally, emotionally, socially and physically.
Included in some of these explorations are
current day teenage issues, pressures
and activities that either promote or erode health.
