Implementation: The health promotion curriculum is supported by a variety of resources:

• Foundation Sessions: The first part of each core concept is the Foundation Session and is the minimum that should be completed to achieve competency. Online versions of the Foundation Session for each core concept and the Health module may be accessed through the Core Concepts links on this page.
• Enrichment Sessions: Additional sessions are available in each core concept for topic enrichment. Learners who are interested in exploring the full curriculum should download the Enrichment Curriculum.
• Facilitator's Guide: Learners wanting to improve their skills in teaching health promotion content should access the Facilitator's Guide which provides an overview of six learner-centered teaching strategies and instruction on how to implement them. These strategies have been expanded into fully interactive, accredited online modules which may be accessed in the Teaching Center.
• PDF Library: Guides to using both the Foundation and Enrichment Sessions, including all handouts, can be downloaded at no charge from the PDF Library.
• Book and DVD: A book titled Pediatrics in Practice: A Health Promotion Curriculum for Child Health Professionals, with the videos referred to in the curriculum is available for purchase.
