This course increases the Clear Credential candidate's understanding of health and safety issues pertaining to the classroom. Recognizing the impact the classroom teacher has on students, development of the whole person is emphasized through decision making practices leading to a healthy lifestyle, and choices based on physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual considerations. Candidates acquire information, methods, and strategies to help those students they will be teaching. Moreover, candidates learn how to integrate health and safety into their own school situations. This course fulfills the CTC Standard for School Health Topics course work (including nutrition, substance abuse, and CPR) required for the 2042 Clear Credential. It requires permission of the program director and may not be taken prior to being recommended for the 2042 Preliminary Teaching Credential.
