Human Growth and Development: A Resource Packet to Assist School Districts in Program Development, Implementation, and Assessment

January 2006

This resource packet was designed to help local school districts develop, review, and address issues related to their human growth and development (HGD) program. Also, this packet will help in building a multi-strategy approach to dealing with youth risk behaviors and promoting the health, well-being, and positive development of students. The resource packet can serve a number of positive purposes for local school districts to enhance the development of HGD program within the Wisconsin Framework for Comprehensive School Health Education (CSHP). Some potential uses for the resource packet and its relationship to comprehensive school health are:

• Reviewing content and implementation of an HGD curriculum (Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment)
• Organizing HGD committees (Family and Community Connections)
• Reviewing and developing school policies concerning HIV/AIDS (Healthy School Environment)
• Connecting the HGD curriculum with state standards in Health Education and Family and Consumer Education (Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment)
• Communicating with the community about the HGD curriculum (Family and Community Connections)
• Training key staff on topics related to HGD (Adult Programs and Pupil Services)
