A quick look at a Healthy Living Course in Minnesota: FACS and Phy Ed partnership

Over the years with the emphasis of obesity prevention I was encouraged to create a course that was in fact promoting healthy living.

In our school we created a course that alternates with FACS and physical education.  I have retired but the course is in it's third year and continues to evolve and develop.

There are some draw backs to the this course.  Having a class everyday makes it feel very slow and occasionally students are somewhat disconnected.  Cooking a two day lab with the every other day schedule does not enable us to make all foods as some tend to spoil more than others.

Over all the program has been successful and we are proud of the partnership and collaboration.

Please look at the video which is a quick over view of the course content from the FACS point of view.

With Love from your retired FACS teacher, Jane
