C&I: Health Education Concentration
The Health Education sequence is designed to prepare health educators to take their knowledge of health, health education, and teaching skills into their professional practice, weaving together methods, concepts, and processes from a multitude of diverse subject areas and translating theory into practice. The coursework is applicable toward fulfilling requirements for the State of Illinois endorsement for Secondary Teachers of Health Education; it does not provide an individual with a teaching certificate. The endorsement option is applicable only to teachers certified in Secondary Education. Please consult with the Health Education Coordinator regarding endorsement and/or degree options.
