Assignment on the IDENTIFY LEARNERS and create the lesson Plan

IDENTIFY LEARNERS

Description of your learning segment:  This lesson plan is being developed for the students of the healthcare field, who are participating in the studies related to healthcare. They are going to be the primary population of this lesson plan, who will be briefed about 2 national health education standards. They will get an idea, how these standards can help them to get more insights in their field, especially with regards to health behavior.

PLANNING                                                                                                                   

NHES Standards: According to the information given on the website of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), there are eight basic standards, which are called national health education standards. For the very first time, these standards were published in 1995, which provide a comprehensive guideline for students, studying in all grades. Following two standards have been chosen for this particular lesson plan:

Standard 1: Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health.

Standard 2: Students will analyze the influence of family, peers, culture, media, technology, and other factors on health behaviors (CDC.GOV, 2020)

Learning Objectives: SMART objectives for this lesson plan:

Specific: This lesson plan is being developed to help students in developing the essence for basic national health education standards so that they can understand these standards, and they can also apply the ideas in their real lives

Measurable: The learning progress of students in this regard will be measured by taking certain tests, where they will be asked a few questions to share their learning experience and feedback

Attainable: This lesson plan is very much attainable, as it has taken standards given by the CDC, which are based on a lot of research and planning.

Realistic: The lesson plan has taken 2 standards at one point in time, to remain realistic in its approach. It may be hard for students to cover all 8 standards, so that’s why only 2 standards are taken for this particular lesson plan.

Time-Specific: This lesson plan will be delivered in two classes. The first standard will be discussed in the first class, and the second standard will be discussed in the second class (Herridge, 2020)

Presentation Objectives: The speaker will make sure that his/her approach is based on two-way communication with the students to have an interactive learning session. It will not be one-way traffic, where students are not engaged in the process.

LEARNING/TEACHING EXPERIENCES

Introduction, Developmental, and Conclusion Activities:

First of all, the students will be given a brief explanation about both standards. Standard 1 and Standard 2 will be discussed in detail with their primary elements. For instance, it will be explained about Standard 1 that how students can understand the importance of disease promotion and health promotion in more specific terms so that they are able to achieve better health & wellbeing, not only for them but for their families as well. Standard 2 will be explained by telling the students about the important topic of health behavior. They will be briefed about positive health behaviors, and how media, family, technology, as well as, peers can be influential in forming their health behaviors (Benes & Alperin, 2018)

In the developmental stages of this learning activity, the students will be engaged in the process and they will be asked questions about their good and bad health behaviors. Then it will be discussed how they have tried to change their health behaviors to achieve better health, and what problems they have faced in this regard. The students will be engaged in a healthy discussion, where peers will also communicate ideas with each other. Every student will be given a chance to speak about his/her health behaviors, and how do they think, who is the backend force for their certain health behaviors; are they driven by their families, media, culture, or what else (CDC, 2015)

In conclusion, students will be explained about changing their health behavior to achieve better health and wellbeing for them, and for their families.
