Road of Life has released version 1.0 of their After School Curriculum.
The curriculum was developed through funding provided by the Ohio
Govenor's Office of Faith-Based & Community Initiatives in a joint
effort between Road of Life and the Olde South Side Community
Partnership.
The curriculum consists of 27 activity based lessons made specifically
for the after school environment. Like the classroom curriculum, it
focuses on tobacco use prevention, nutrition and physical activity.
After School 1.0 also contains information general health information
on personal hygiene, time management and self image.
The curriculum is geared towards children between the ages of 9 and 12,
and is integrated into core academic subject areas such as math,
science, social studies and English language arts. The modular design
of the curriculum provides the flexibility to teach one lesson or the
entire curriculum.
This new curriculum and program design will be available to faith and
community-based organizations serving at-risk youth throughout the
state of Ohio. The curriculum can also be used in other academic
enrichment environments, such as summer camps.
This new curriculum allows Road of Life’s programs to reach more
at-risk youth across Ohio. It helps the organization to further its
mission to raise a healthier generation of children with a
significantly reduced risk of cancer and other diseases of excess. The
curriculum is available free for download on the Road of Life website, www.roadoflife.org.
"One of Road of Life's goals is to have a version of its program
available for every teachable venue in a child's life," said Road of
Life Executive Director, Shane Hankins, "Our hope is that the After
School Curriculum will reinforce what the children will learn in the
classroom."
