These training
modules offer exceptional and up-to-date information for teacher or
paraprofessional training as well as parent training. I use
these resources in my Early Childhood teacher preparation courses to
help my students learn about health and nutrition issues.
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock includes all the training
modules as well as the Hip On Health® Parent Information Series in
the College of Education curriculum lab. Having these
materials available in both English and Spanish provides our future
teachers with ideas of materials to use with Spanish speaking
families. I recommend these modules to anyone looking for
health and safety training resources.
