Updates: Grade 7-8 Curriculum

New Instructional Tools & Lesson Layout Updates

The Michigan Model for HealthTM Grade 7-8 curriculum has undergone several improvements this past year.  In June 2024, the four major curriculum health subjects were combined into one curriculum for social-emotional health and safety, alcohol and other drugs, tobacco and vaping, and nutrition and physical activity.  As a further continuation of improvements, our team of health educators and consultants released additional updates on 1/10/25 to include new instructional tools and digital lesson layout enhancements.

New Instructional Tools

There are new Google Slides per lesson for teachers to copy or download, a new lesson map of student learning objectives and standards, and a new lesson resource list for the entire unit with a count of resources per lesson.
