Instructional content will focus on stages of human growth and development, nutrition, and therapeutic diets. Knowledge of basic medical terminology will focus on defining and using medical roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Students will examine the healthcare delivery system, be introducedto health careers, explain how healthcare workers fit into the overall health environment, and identify how key systems affect quality of care. Students will determine common methods of payment for healthcare and their impact on its delivery. Additional focus will be placed on the recognition of microorganisms, and their role in disease transmission and prevention. Standard Precautions will be examined as the means to prevent the spread of infection. First Aid and CPR certification is made available to all students. Instruction will incorporate project/problem-based healthcare practices and procedures. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and participate in hands-on activities to develop an understanding of course concepts. Teachers will provide each student with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to the study of health occupations. The West Virginia Standards for 21st Century Learning include the following components: 21st Century Content Standards and 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools.
