The Health Education Curriculum Grade 6 document developed by the Educational
Programs & Services Branch of the Department of Education is intended for use by
the teachers who will be delivering the health curriculum in their school.
The expectation of the curriculum is that students will achieve the Outcomes as
detailed in the curriculum document.
The Learning and Teaching Suggestions, and Appendices that support the
Outcomes, provide options from which the teacher may select. As with delivery of
all provincial curricula, teachers will exercise professional judgement in the
selection of learning activities and tailor them to the needs of their students. The
appendices will be selected and used in a manner the teacher deems appropriate for
his/her class and community.
This document is not a text book for use by students. It is a document that teachers
are expected to use to guide the delivery of the Middle School Health Education
Curriculum.
