Instagram post 2140857262917507054_1928089093 OCDE will host a pair of workshops next month to help teachers learn more about the next census count and develop census-related lessons for students. The goal is to empower students as advocates who can discuss the importance of census participation in their homes and communities. History teachers, social science teachers and elementary teachers will be introduced to curricular options that cover all grade levels, and math instructors will learn how to create lessons and assignments based on census data through the “Statistics in Schools” curriculum.

Instagram post 2136577086935193391_1928089093 Introducing Allison Casillas. Allison is a coordinator in the Educational Services Division with the OCDE.

Instagram post 2135746145275414292_1928089093 Earlier this year, the California Board of Education approved a framework to help teachers deliver lessons aligned with the state’s health education standards, which cover six content areas. So we created this printable, one-page guide outlining the content areas with a grade-by-grade breakdown of when they’re taught, along with a few specific examples. As always, if you have any questions about what your child is learning, we encourage you to call or email your child’s teacher. Learn more at newsroom.ocde.us #healtheducation #learning

Instagram post 2124893687486297193_1928089093 In May, the California Board of Education approved a new Health Education Framework for public schools, providing optional guidance for K-12 teachers based on the state’s health education standards. So what exactly is a framework, how does it differ from the standards, and how does the California Healthy Youth Act fit into the equation? We've created a short video and provided some general information to help parents better understand. Check out our video at Newsroom.ocde.us Also, we always encourage parents to contact their child's school to learn more about what is being taught in their child's classroom. En Español En mayo, la Mesa Directiva de California aprobó un nuevo Marco de Educación para la Salud para las escuelas públicas, brindando una orientación opcional para los maestros desde Kínder hasta el décimo segundo grados en base a los estándares de educación para la salud del estado. Entonces, ¿qué es realmente un marco de educación? ¿Cómo difiere de los estándares y cómo es parte de esta ecuación la Ley de California para una Juventud Saludable? Creamos un breve video y tenemos información general para ayudar a los padres a comprender mejor. Vea nuestro video en Newsroom.ocde.us Además, siempre alentamos a los padres a comunicarse con la escuela de sus hijos para obtener más información sobre lo que se enseña a sus hijos. #healtheducation #healthystudents #backtoschool
Instagram post 2119915095101429846_1928089093 Here are 5 tips for staying safe during heat waves and high temperatures. 1. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water, even if you’re not thirsty. 2. Avoid the sun: Stay in air-conditioned buildings. If you must be outside, be sure to wear a hat, sunscreen and loose clothing. 3. Share the electricity: Do your part by setting thermostats at a maximum low of 78 degrees and use appliances in the evenings when energy demands are lower. 4. If the home is too hot: check with your local city or county health departments for the nearest cooling centers. 5. Travel with care: Be sure you are prepared with supplies like water, snacks medication, cellphone and lightweight clothing should you have to abandon a disabled vehicle. #hydrate; #besafe
