Health Education Plan
Health Education Plan
The education plan that I have created comes partly from my Windshield survey, and from my Friedman Family Assessment. My education plan will identify educational needs, establish goals and objectives, show appropriate educational methods, I will outline the steps to implement my education plan, and I will evaluate the educational process including educator and process evaluation.

In 2010, The National Institute on Drug Abuse’s monitoring the Future report indicated that 80 percent of U.S. students had used alcohol or drugs by the time they reached the 12th grade. When parents, school officials and faculty, and the community join forces and send consistent messages to our teens, it empowers them to make
