Using the following materials below, create 7 different signs for our classroom. Each sign will represent a Health Education Skill that we will be learning about in Health Class. Please start in pencil then marker. You may start on a piece of looseleaf paper as a draft. You will not receive an extra piece of construction paper to create another sign due to mistakes. Please feel free to take a closer look at the Health Education Skills with the Guidance Document button at the bottom of the page.
On your sign, please make sure to include:
- a brief description of the skill
- one small picture that represents that skill (if you are not able to print, save the picture on a document and email it to me but leave an area for the picture on your sign)
- your names and class period on the back of the sign
Please hand in the signs to the teacher by the end of the period.

7 Health Education Skills
Seven developmental personal and social skills, comprised of multiple sequential subskills, which when
mastered, enable individuals to enhance personal, family and community health and safety. The seven
skills include the overall encompassing skills of Self-Management and Relationship Management, as well as
Stress Management, Communication, Decision Making, Planning and Goal Setting and Advocacy. The seven
skills are listed below:
1. Self-Management: Overall personal health skill that enables an individual to assess and analyze one’s
current health and safety status, apply appropriate knowledge and skills, monitor, evaluate and adjust
one’s behavior to enhance personal health and safety. Self management includes the personal application
of Stress Management, Communication, Decision Making, and Planning and Goal Setting to enhance
personal health and safety.
2. Relationship Management: Overall personal health skill that enables an individual to assess and analyze
one’s current interpersonal and intra-personal knowledge and skills, monitor, evaluate and adjust one’s
behavior to enhance personal, family and community health and safety. Relationship management includes
the application of Stress Management, Communication, Decision Making, and Planning and Goal Setting to
enhance personal, family and community health and safety.
3. Stress Management: Personal and social skills comprised of multiple subskills, that when performed
together, enable an individual to manage positive and negative change in health enhancing ways. Stress
management is performed as a separate skill and often in conjunction with the other health skills.
4. Communication: Sequential personal and social skills comprised of multiple subskills, that when
performed together, enable an individual to listen, understand and express oneself in respectful, safe and
health enhancing ways. This skill includes verbal and non-verbal communication, assertiveness, refusal,
negotiation, conflict management and collaboration.
5. Decision Making: Sequential personal and social skills comprised of multiple subskills, that when
performed together, enable an individual to make well informed choices that enhance personal, family and
community health.
6. Planning and Goal Setting: Sequential personal and social skill comprised of multiple subskills, that
when performed together, enable an individual to develop health enhancing short-term and long-term
goals, and develop, implement, evaluate and revise health enhancing plans to accomplish the goals.
7. Advocacy: Sequential personal and social skill comprised of multiple subskills, that when performed
together, enable an individual to persuade others to promote, support or behave in ways that enhance
personal, family and community health. Advocacy is a natural outgrowth of Self Management, Relationship
Management and the other four Health Education Skills.
