Pandemic Preparedness: Instructional Tools for Secondary Schools

Pandemic Preparedness: Instructional Tools for Secondary Schools Description:

According to federal health officials, it's only a matter of time before the next pandemic flu hits outbreak status. School districts have the daunting task of educating staff, students, and their families about preparing for a pandemic emergency. New resources from ToucanEd help you accomplish this task in a timely and cost-effective manner. These authoritative toolkits draw from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other credible sources to include the most up-to-date and relevant information. Each convenient binder provides an overview of pandemic flu, suggestions for preparation and prevention, and educational materials for students and their parents.
Pandemic Preparedness: Instructional Tools for Secondary Schools offers six lessons for middle and high school students based on up-to-date information. Students research historical pandemics, practice personal health habits to help stop the spread of cold and flu germs, and learn about steps individuals and families can take to prepare for pandemic flu. The toolkit also includes two attention-grabbing posters and two colorful pamphlets that emphasize important actions for stopping the spread of germs. Included in the package is a CD with a PowerPoint presentation that provides a comprehensive overview of pandemic flu. The presentation can be used as professional development for middle school teachers and used with students at the high school level. The CD also includes masters for all student worksheets and take-home materials for families.
