Through applied practice, students are engaged in learning best practices in curriculum development; selection and design of assessments, skills-based teaching strategies, program planning and evaluation, and advocacy while also building foundational knowledge in health content areas. Additionally, the certificate includes coursework that meets Illinois requirements for certified teachers seeking a cross-endorsement in health education.
