This course is designed for K-12 health educators, school health staff, consultants and community partners to provide a sufficient level of knowledge, skills and resources to teach and support a school’s health curriculum and Injury and Violence Prevention Education Program. The aim is to prevent negative consequences of intentional and unintentional injury, and to prepare educators and professionals to serve as resources for youth, families and school staff within the school’s comprehensive health education and school wellness program. The course content, activities, and course projects are aligned to the National Health Education Knowledge and Performance Standards and the Vermont Rules Governing the Licensing of Educators and the Preparation of Educational Professionals (pp. 125-127). Participants apply the course teachings in a school-based project.
