Archive: FA24: Health DataWell: HS Life Science Instructional Materials, October 17, 2024

Health Datawell provides free lesson plans and storyline units to help high school students understand the varied roles of citizens and health scientists in protecting and promoting the health and wellness of their communities. These instructional materials could be used in a variety of courses, including Biology, Environmental Science, Anatomy, and AP Biology.

This session aims to broaden teacher and student awareness of the diversity of careers and civic roles engaged in societal health protection. It will include an overview of the connections between the Health DataWell instructional materials and the work done by an expert in the field of public health. In addition, the expert will discuss their career path and how their work to identify and resolve global health and environmental challenges intersects with a variety of stakeholders, including local communities.

All individuals receive a certificate of participation and 100 NSTA activity points for attending the live seminar and completing the end-of-program survey. A certificate of participation is not awarded for watching the recorded version of the program.
