Updates: Grade 7-8 Curriculum

New Instructional Tools & Lesson Layout Updates

The Michigan Model for HealthTM Grade 7-8 curriculum has undergone several improvements this past year.  In June 2024, the four major curriculum health subjects were combined into one curriculum for social emotional health and safety, alcohol and other drugs, tobacco and vaping, and nutrition and physical activity.  As a further continuation of improvements, our team of health educators and consultants have released additional updates on 1/10/25 to include new instructional tools and digital lesson layout enhancements.

New Instructional Tools

New full-lesson Google Slides per lesson for teachers to copy or download, new lesson map of student learning objectives and standards, and new lesson resource list for the entire unit with a number count of resources per lesson.
