Adult Basic Education Student Health Team

The Health Team is a group of students selected to bring health topics and issues into the adult basic education classroom. The team is made up of a diverse group of students who have an interest in exploring health topics and sharing this information with their classmates.

The goal of the Health Team is to make health a part of program instruction. Each year, the team:

• Surveys learners to determine what health issues are important to students.
• Gathers information on these topics.
• Decides how to make this information available and understandable to teachers and students and to others in the community.

Health Team activities include:

• Developing newsletters and related classroom activities.
• Presenting interactive lessons to the students in the classroom.
• Developing books and tools to be shared with the community.
• Participation in statewide leadership conferences.
