This Web site includes both curricula and an overview of the Massachusetts Department of Education-funded Comprehensive Health Program. As part of this multi-year Comprehensive Health Program, the Harborside Community Adult Learning Program collaborated with the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center. The four abridged, Web-based curricula include lengthy health lesson plans for Spanish literacy and health; Spanish literacy and nutrition; ESOL level 3; and ESOL level 4. Also included are lesson ideas for how to involve the students in deciding what to study, and teacher comments about the outcome of each lesson actually carried out in a classroom. These are more like curriculum guides than actual lessons, as factual supporting materials are not provided. Topics covered include AIDS, nutrition, health care in home countries (home remedies), immigrants’ rights, anatomy, and tobacco. Keywords: AIDS/HIV / Anatomy and physiology / Immigrants / Nutrition |
