APPENDIX AInstructional Resources

INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES

This Framework provides teachers and curriculum specialists with a wide array of learning activitiesto help students meet the Comprehensive Health Education and Physical Education Core CurriculumContent Standards. At the local school district level, educators should examine instructional materi-als currently in use and evaluate the materials to determine alignment with the Standards. As partof the alignment process, educators are encouraged to examine a wide array of materials and pro-grams before deciding which ones will assist students to achieve the Standards.

In addition, school districts that utilize federal Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act(SDFSCA) funds for substance abuse prevention education must adhere to the Safe and Drug-FreeSchools Principles of Effectiveness. The Principles were developed to ensure that recipients of Title IVfunds use them in ways most likely to reduce drug use and violence among youth. Subsequently,school districts that receive this funding must select materials based on a needs assessment andmeasurable goals and objectives. Funded schools must select and implement an instructional programthat has demonstrated effectiveness (or promise of effectiveness) in preventing or reducing drug use,violence, or disruptive behavior.

This section of the Framework provides a list of health and physical education instructional materi-als and resources. It also includes a list of Web sites to support instruction. Finally, this sectionincludes a compilation of local, state, and national organizations that provide health and physicaleducation information and materials. The New Jersey Department of Education does not endorseany of the listed materials, agencies, or organizations. Educators and curriculum specialists areurged to conduct a thorough review of materials before including an item in the instructional pro-gram.

IDENTIFYING AND EVALUATING INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES

Educators provide students with opportunities to develop a knowledge and skills base that is thefoundation for future health and lifestyle decisions. Not all materials are appropriate for all audi-ences. Teachers need to locate accurate, timely, and developmentally appropriate materials (e.g.,books, songs, videos) that help students learn key health and physical education concepts. The for-mat, content, or reading level can limit the appropriateness or effectiveness of instructional materi-als for some populations. Inaccurate information may even be dangerous for a student. Consider thefollowing when searching for new materials.

■ Many important sources of information can be accessed through libraries/media centers.Utilize the services of the library media specialist to locate appropriate materials.

■ Search databases such as ERIC, Medline, and PsycINFO for children’s health information.■ Contact local, state, and national professional organizations for a listing of health resources

(e.g., American School Health Association, National Association for the Education of YoungChildren).

NEW JERSEY COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH EDUCATION AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK

■ Utilize health specific search engines. Health Explorer (HYPERLINK http://healthexplorer.com http://www.healthexplorer.com) or Yahoo Health Directory (http://www.yahoo.com/health)offer up-to-date health information for teachers and children.

■ Review program evaluation and research. Identify programs that have been shown effectivewith a student population similar to yours.

EVALUATING CONTENT

One guideline for judging the accuracy of content is to verify the credibility of the author, publish-er, or source of the materials. Reviewing the author’s credentials however, does not always ensure theaccuracy or appropriateness of materials. Use your own judgment when examining materials. If younote one inconsistency or inaccurate message, there are probably more. View with skepticism mate-rials that sound too good to be true. Examine the research behind the program and verify references.Be sure the materials meet the needs and interests of the students. To judge whether materials arecurrent, look at the copyright date. Some health information is outdated in one to three years.

After identifying materials that seem appropriate, reliable, and current, consult with experts in thecommunity. These experts can answer any questions you may have or clarify information about atopic or strategy. Consulting with experts (e.g., physicians, nurses, community health educators, fit-ness specialists) strengthens the instructional program and ensures community support. Look formaterials that are easily integrated into your classroom routine, culturally relevant and sensitive, andeasily adaptable for students with special needs.

This section is divided into three parts. The first table lists health and physical education instruc-tional resources (e.g., textbooks, modules, curricula, CD-ROM). A brief description of each resourceappears. Special notations indicate those programs that have received national recognition (e.g.,National Diffusion Network) or provide published evaluations of effectiveness.

The second table lists health and physical education Web sites for both student and teacher use.Teachers are encouraged to review each site for appropriateness. The last part of this section listsnumerous local, state, and national agencies and organizations that support health and physical edu-cation. Some of the listings may provide free or low cost materials for use in the classroom. Pleasecontact the agency for more information.

SUMMARY

Teachers need to examine the materials currently used in their health and physical education pro-gram to ensure that the materials will assist students to meet the Standards. In order to enable allstudents to develop the knowledge and skills needed to achieve a healthy lifestyle, teachers needto judge the quality and appropriateness of instructional materials and incorporate programs thathave been shown to be effective with a similar student population.
