Fostering Wellness

EDUC X345.4

Delivery Options Online

Teachers are often the first to be called upon to counsel, diagnose, mediate and evaluate problems that extend well beyond the subject they teach. The health issues and problems that students deal with on a daily basis interfere with the learning process and must be addressed in order to optimize student achievement.

Study how health and wellness affects learning and academic achievement, as well as explore how classroom teachers can successfully foster wellness and integrate a healthy environment into their core curriculum. You also gain the skills to practice self-care as a teacher in order to give your best in the classroom.
