Health Education and Physical Education: Disciplines Preparing Students as Productive, Healthy Citizens for the Challenges of the 21st Century.
Johnson, Judith; Deshpande, Connie
Journal of School Health, v70 n2 p66-68 Feb 2000
Besides challenges in health and physical well-being, today's children face challenges based in behavior and lifestyle choices, which do not offer well-defined solutions. The paper describes coordinated school health programs; explains the importance of school, community, and family involvement in health; presents the U.S. Department of Education's perspective; and discusses reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
