Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Health education is any combination of learning experiences designed to facilitate voluntary actions conducive to health. Areas within this profession encompass environmental health, physical health, social health, emotional health, intellectual health, and spiritual health, as well as sexual and reproductive health education.
The school health education curriculum consists of planned learning experiences that will help students achieve desirable attitudes and practices related to critical health issues. Thus, this Special Issue is intended to foreground and celebrate work that consists of educational frameworks or core competencies to guide a new generation of public health work. What innovations in experiential education, and novel approaches to course delivery have you championed? How are you co-creating knowledge with students and colleagues? How are you evaluating the efficacy and learning outcomes of this innovative teaching and learning? How does our education help students understand and work with people in the context of their living realities? Are you working in the context of an education unit that does not embrace this work? What are your strategies for moving ahead in this innovative space? Is there any use for social and behavioral science theories in the development of health promotion interventions?
