The Health Education Department at
NWC provides a wide variety of courses
for students interested in a career in some aspect of
the health field--public and community health, personal
trainers, aerobic instructors, dieticians, health and
physical educators, nursing, athletic training, and sports
medicine. Most Health Education courses carry the HLED
prefix.
Program specific outcomes: The Department of Health and Physical Education has four learning outcomes which are directly related to class experience. The expectation is that one or more of the outcomes are addressed in each of our courses.
The learning outcomes are as follows:
Design and use a healthy lifestyle management plan.
Apply knowledge of growth, development, learning theory, and movement principles to program development and lesson planning.
Administer various assessments including Fitness, Strength, Motor and Academia.
Demonstrate knowledge of basic instructional strategies for athletic coaching.
