Purposeful, Transparent, Contextual, Building Expertise

Purposeful and Transparent To be healthy, adults have to think of what they eat, how much food they consume, and how much exercise they get. Also, on the GED test, students are required to read and interpret charts. Contextual Information about healthy diet, caloric intake, and exercise are important for our students and their families. Building Expertise Students get practice reading and interpreting charts and applying the information to their own lives.
