Good Health and Well-Being Asynchronous Professional Development Course

The Good Health and Well-Being Asynchronous Professional Development Course is designed to help any educator or professional learn about the Good Health and Well-Being Lesson Sets and how to implement them with a group of students. This course helps orient participants to the lesson sets while sharing important content related to good health and well-being. Participants can self-select their training to be tailored to a single lesson set (Good Health and Disease, Good Health and Food, or Good Health and the Environment) or all three sets. Participants receive badges for each module completed and will receive a certificate for completing the entire course. For more information about the course, please contact Shellie Pick at PickS@si.edu.
