Lesson Plans
The lesson plans below serve
as a basis for a variety of health education activities, such as a lecture
series, a diabetes support group curriculum, and "Lunch and Learn" forums.
Ideally, diabetes educators, occupational health
providers, other health care professionals, or wellness coordinators should
lead the lessons. Knowledgeable human resource managers and supervisors may
also be able to deliver the material.
Lesson plans include:
- Outline with objectives, script guide, suggested
group activities or exercises, and recommendations for shortening the lesson to
a 15- to 20-minute time period
- Handouts
- Overheads
- PowerPoint slide sets
- Select lesson plans, PowerPoint slide sets and
handouts are available in Spanish
While the lesson plans focus on diabetes issues, many
can be adapted to discuss high blood pressure, heart disease prevention, weight
loss and management, physical activity, nutrition, and stress management.
