| Introduction | I'm in my sixth year as a middle school health educator in Massachusetts, and am currently the VP of Health for MAHPERD. I have a BS in Health Studies/Health Education from Springfield College (Class of 2008) and I just finished my Master's at Boston University. After school hours, I coach cross-country and track; I still train to race when I'm not hurt (which has happened often since I graduated). I grade student work with green pens, stand on desks whenever possible, and I'm completely comfortable saying "penis" and "vagina" in front of adolescents. I wear a pink tie every Friday, and you can feel free to contact me through mrbartletthealth@gmail.com or follow me on Twitter @bartletthealth.
Not all of my ideas are perfect, but maybe another teacher can take them, add their own twist, and use them in their own classrooms. I have presented with colleagues on the following topics: "Creative Teaching Strategies in Health Education" MAHPERD 2007 (with A. Cinelli) "Survival Skills for The First Year Health Teacher" MAHPERD 2010 (with S. Shah-Verlest) |
