Sample Curriculum that I Propose for a Health Promoting School
Here is a sample of a comprehensive curriculum that I would like to implement in Hong Kong schools. Orange colored boxes would be implemented at the classroom level, purple colored boxes would be implemented at the community level, and yellow colored boxes would be implemented at the school level. There are a variety of school curriculums from around the world to choose from and I chose the following items based on their comprehensive approach to health education. I also chose the career guidance and counseling standards because many schools in Hong Kong do not have certified school counselors to meet the occupational wellness needs of our students. Please look at more models/standards under the resources section to gather ideas of how you could build a similar or different curriculum to satisfy the health needs at your school.
Most importantly, be sure to contact the Center for Health Education and Health Promotion (along with their resources) to gather more information about making your school into a “health promoting school” if you are currently in Hong Kong. There information and web related programs are as follows:
