On August 8, 2000, the Board formally approved a delivery system to provide health/life skills instruction in Grades 6-8. Completion of the instruction fulfills state mandates and Board adopted Health/Life Skills Education standards. Training for those teachers assigned to implement the required health/life skills instruction must be completed before instruction begins. Many teachers have already been trained and have implemented the required health/life skills instruction. However, if you have teachers or new teachers who have not been trained, please alert them of the training described below. Intervention Services department will provide training for teachers who have not already been trained, and who have been selected to teach Grade 6 "Family Life"; Grade 6 "Do It Yourself" tobacco use prevention; Grades 6, 7, and 8 "Life Skills Training Curriculum"; and Grade 8 sex education. Your Life Skills teacher will contact you to assist in identifying teachers who should attend. The HEAT training is free; teachers will be paid for their participation. Dates of the training will be July 23 - 27, 2001. For more information, call Ellen Hohenstein at (858) 627-7574, or email
