		The Michigan Model for Health
		The Michigan Model for Health exemplifies the comprehensive curriculum as defined in the Health Education component. The Michigan Model is a skill based curriculum. With an average of 40 lessons per grade level in K-6 and modules addressing specific health risks at grades 7-12, this curriculum meets all ten areas of Comprehensive School Health Education and sequentially builds upon itself. Instruction at the First Grade level teaches objectives designed to build upon those learned in Kindergarten. Second Grade lessons build upon those learned in First Grade and so on.
