Health education consultant

Over the years, I helped districts strengthen their health  and physical education programs by providing skills-based health/social-emotional learning (SEL) professional development:

• assessing SEL, curriculum and instruction, then setting goals for improvement;
• aligning health and physical education  to state and national standards and SEL competencies;
• using the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model to assess needs and set goals for improvement.
