Michigan Model

Health education in the school setting is especially important for helping children and young people develop positive health habits that will lead to a healthy lifestyle for the rest of their lives.

The Michigan Model curriculum provides the lessons to teach positive health habits and the skills needed to make them a part of their lifestyle.

The Michigan Model for Comprehensive Health Education promotes healthy behaviors by providing instruction in ten traditional health content areas:

  • Safety and First Aid Education
  • Nutrition Education
  • Family Health
  • Consumer Health
  • Community Health
  • Growth and Development
  • Substance Use & Abuse
  • Personal Health Practices
  • Emotional and Mental Health
  • Disease Prevention and Control
