The Connections Poster

This professional development tool helps educators make the connection between assessment and achievement of National Health Education Standards.

The Connections/Jugglers Poster uses a juggling analogy to illustrate the process for using assessment to develop curriculum, guide classroom instruction, assess performance, and evaluate results. Whether teaching juggling or health education skills, assessment is the key to helping educators guide improvements in education planning and delivery.

The poster depicts a continuum in which standards, curriculum, instruction, and assessment work together 1) to ensure that students achieve health literacy and 2) to provide an effective tool to direct future health education policy.

Colorful and engaging, this poster effectively illustrates the relationships among standards, curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
