Health Education-SEL Crosswalk Document

 

Comprehensive, skills-based health education programs support students’ health literacy and are a critical part of a well-rounded education. The National Health Education Standards (NHES), which serve as the foundation for skills-based health education, are also directly connected to social and emotional learning (SEL).

 

The all-new Health Education/SEL Crosswalk aligns the National Health Education Standards with CASEL’s SEL competencies and sub-competencies, giving teachers a pathway for planning a skills-based health education curriculum that aligns with social and emotional learning.

This is exceedingly important at a time when mental health issues and social emotional learning is at the forefront of education discussions.

Physical education often includes the use of technology, such as iPads, accelerometers, smart boards, etc. However, there is little literature on the use of applications in PE and the impact it can have on student outcomes. The purpose of this study was to understand the effects of using applications during PE on students’ physical activity levels and their psychological beliefs.

Over the past two decades, the lyrics of the most popular songs in rap have increasingly hit on issues related to anxiety, depression and mental health, a new study reveals. "I think anyone who's been a fan of rap music across the last two decades — myself included — had a feeling this was happening," said study author Alex Kresovich, a doctoral fellow in the Hussman School of Journalism and Media at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

 

Psychology Today

For over half a year, the COVID-19 pandemic has been reshaping how people live, work and interact with one another. Social distancing and quarantine regulations have impacted many facets of the everyday behavior of adults and children alike. These restrictions have widely influenced the way children learn, play and get active. The pandemic has also had a widespread impact on the mental health of children and adolescents.

Skills that students develop in social and emotional learning — empathy, collaboration, and so on — are closely connected to standards in many academic subjects. Social and emotional learning (SEL) is sometimes perceived as being just one more thing heaped on educators’ plates, but it’s truly valuable —in small, frequent doses, it helps bring about many valued outcomes.

 

Education Dive

According to a recent survey, 50% of students report worsening mental health since the beginning of the pandemic, and 35% say their family relationships are worse than before and they now feel more anxious and lonely. Some districts sought social-emotional learning curricula as early as April when it became apparent the stress of social isolation and lifestyle changes was taking a toll on families.

This fall every teacher asked themselves the same questions: What will our teaching look like? Will it be in-person or remote? And how will our students and colleagues stay safe? My colleagues and I in the Germantown Friends School (GFS) Physical Education department were asking the same questions. When we learned that we would be phasing back into in-person learning, we began to ponder logistical questions related to keeping students engaged in vigorous physical activity safely.
