"I have been using the Road of Life curriculum in my third grade classroom. I have found the material very easy to use. The subject matter is very pertinent and presented at an age-appropriate manner. The students seem to be learning a great deal from the lessons and have many questions and information to add that is occurring in their lives. I am finding that the curriculum is very easy to share with the 4th and 5th grade teachers as well. The teachers who have been using the program have commented on how easy the plans are to follow and that everything is understandable."

Outcomes Evaluation
To provide a greater understanding of the effects of our programs and health initiatives, Road of Life decided to design and conduct an outcomes evaluation that would capture the impact of our health education curriculum. The evaluation focuses on changes in knowledge, beliefs and behaviors in students using a pre and post-test. The evaluation data is currently being compiled and will be analyzed by The Ohio State University Statistical Consulting Center.
Process Evaluation
In an effort to continuously improve the quality of our curriculum, we ask educators who are using the classroom curriculum and after school curriculum to evaluate our curricula online.The suggestions and information provided is then used in future versions of the curricula.
