Revisions in Progress
Goals of the
Revision
There are two major goals for the revision of the Michigan Model®.
-
Review and revise lessons to add, change or omit information, health issues, instructional methods, and materials. The kindergarten through sixth grade Michigan Model for Comprehensive School Health Education® curriculum was originally written in 1984 and revised in the 1990’s.
- Reduce the number of lessons per grade level. Educators have consistently indicated that teaching 40-50 health lessons per grade level is not feasible given the other demands on instructional time. Reducing the number of lessons to 20-30 lessons per grade level will promote consistency of implementation among teachers using the Michigan Model® and increase the likelihood that critical content and skills are taught.

IMPORTANT ONGOING
SUPPORT
It is important to note that
while the revision process continues, and after it is completed, the EMC
will continue to support the curriculum as it stands now. For schools
already implementing the curriculum who do not wish to reduce lesson
counts, materials will remain available.
