What is a health teacher?

A health teacher provides age-appropriate instruction about illness, disease, nutrition, and developing bodies to students in primary and secondary schools. As a health teacher, your job duties include preparing lesson plans, teaching classes, implementing classroom management strategies, interacting with students and parents, providing feedback on student progress, and attending professional development courses, sessions, and meetings. You may work in public or private schools, and your place of employment impacts the content standards and curriculum you are expected to teach your students.
