Lesson 6: Curriculum Map

Introduction

Beginning in the month of September, Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) will

engage in a six month long health lifestyle unit in our monthly workshops, intended to provide

staff with a more comprehensive understanding of health, to produce constructive conversation

about how to be healthier, and ways in which these techniques can be integrated into the

workplace.

Workshop Details

The ECLC multipurpose room will be utilized for these workshops. For each month,

there will be two presentations - one for the 40-hour employees and one for the 20/25-hour

employees as is appropriate for their scheduling. For the 40-hour employees, workshops will

take place on the first and third Wednesdays of each month; for 20/25 hour employees, the

workshops will take place on the first and third Mondays of each month during the lunch

periods. Specific workshop times will be sent out if school holidays or other conflicts arise;

emails will be sent at that time with information for the employees.

The first workshop of the month will include a presentation and basic information related

to the particular topic, while the second will briefly recap the information presented previously

and include an activity related to the topic. The topic each month is meant to reflect national

awareness months, holidays, or other special events. Ideally, the inclusion of this unit in our

monthly workshops will help to improve overall well-being of ECLC employees; increase

health-related knowledge, habits, and practices; decrease stress by providing a fun and unique

learning experience; and improve overall site environment, community, production, and morale.
