Skills Based Health Education includes an in depth review of the National Health Education Standards and their use as the foundation to teach health education content and skills. It illustrates formative and summative assessments to improve teaching and learning, provides assessment guidelines, explains the advantage of using rubrics, and demonstrates how to assemble rubrics based on the performance indicators of the National Health Education Standards.Rather than include content information, students are encouraged to determine content based on needs. Readers are shown how to establish student need, select content and skill performance indicators to meet the need, and plan and implement assessment and instruction.
