Comprehensive Health Skills for Middle School provides the skills and information students need to make responsible decisions and promote a lifetime of health and wellness.

Factual, objective information about human sexuality is included in the text. Content and skills align to the National Health Education Standards and the National Sex Education Standards.

• Each module contains skills-based activities that align to each health skill area in the National Health Education Standards. These activities were created by award-winning health instructors. Each health and wellness topic focuses on the skills students can use to make healthy decisions and promote health.
• With integration in a Learning Management System, you have the flexibility to turn lessons and modules on and off. Guide students to focus on specific text and resources relevant to your coursework, rather than having access to the entire digital textbook.
  
• High-interest special features encourage deeper thinking about health topics. Features such as Case Studies help students associate text topics with real-life scenarios and apply health skills related to each scenario. Building Your Skills features highlight health skills that students need to maintain health and wellness and provide an activity to allow students to practice their skills.
• Many resources are available digitally in Spanish, including the complete textbook, workbook activities, reading guides, review and assessment questions, parent/trusted adult engagement exercises, and more. All Spanish resources were translated by professional translators, not AI.
