There seems to be a lot of information in the healthy living section. How much time should be devoted to health?
• There are not specific time requirements set by the Ministry of Education for delivering the Healthy Living expectations. Program delivery should be balanced, considering both the number of expectations in each strand and also the importance of providing ongoing instruction for some expectations. Fitness and active participation expectations should be delivered on an ongoing basis throughout the year to help build the fitness levels of students. • The Healthy Living section includes a large amount of background information as support for the teachers. Teachers can find background information in the notes to teacher section in each sub-task and also in the unit overviews. Teachers may certainly research additional sources of information, but they should find the basic information required to meet the curriculum expectations within the unit overviews and sub-tasks.
