Summary "Educating for Health takes you on a transformational journey that will help you become a master teacher of health education for children in grades preK through 8. That journey begins with an in-depth exploration of your own uniqueness as a professional who will educate for health. Author Valerie Ubbes helps you turn your personal narrative into your professional identity and then guides you toward understanding children's learning styles and the professional knowledge you will use to shape a relational pedagogy with your learners. Educating for Health explores pedagogical strategies that will help you bridge your understanding of health issues with your teaching. This book will help you translate education and health theories into practice."--BOOK JACKET
