High Impact Instructional Strategies: Comprehensive Health
District Samples Curriculum Project (DSCP): Phase IV High Impact Instructional Strategies
Comprehensive Health Instructional Resources
Hello,
I am very proud to present standards-based instructional resources for Comprehensive Health. The model lesson is a set of full lesson materials developed to train content area teachers at the 2016 "All Students, All Standards: Instructional Strategies Institute." The additional sample lesson resources represent the work of a team of Colorado educators to share how they develop their own unique standards based lessons that employ high impact instructional strategies. As examples, they are intended to provide support (or conversation/creation starting points) for teachers, schools, and districts as they make their own local decisions around the best instructional plans and practices for all students.
Phase IV of the District Sample Curriculum Project is intended to share just a sampling of lesson planning processes and ideas as a response to requests from local schools and districts asking for more explicit instructional sample ideas. Thank you to the educators that worked diligently to submit their work for this purpose!

Model Lesson
The following is the lesson that was modeled during the ASAS Institute by the Content Specialist.
5th Grade Health Unit: Bullies Are Not Ok
Lesson Description: The teacher will read “My Most Humiliating Jim Crow Experience” and then discuss the short term and long term consequences of bullying so students can analyze the impact of the intolerance and lack of respect for the differences of others. Students will role play the scenario from the short story and analyze the impacts of being a bully, being bullied and being a bystander. Finally, students will individually reflect upon separate times when they were a bully, a bystander and being bullied.

8th Grade Unit: Personal Boundaries
Lesson Description: The teacher modeled effective self-advocacy strategies so students could begin to advocate for setting and maintaining personal boundaries. (e.g. around substance use/abuse, sexual decision-making).” This lesson was designed with the intention that no matter the situation, we can apply the same resisting pressure skills to advocate for ourselves.
