She stands on a revolving pedestal in an auditorium at the Kansas Learning Center for Health, where thousands of visitors have heard her describe the human body.
The Kansas Learning Center for Health offers health education programs for students in both Field Trip and Outreach formats. Both formats adhere to the Kansas State Science and Health Standards, emphasize tobacco and drug free living and other healthy lifestyle choices, and our prevention programs are eligible for Safe and Drug-Free Schools funding. The Learning Center also offers Professional Development Workshops for teachers and programs for adults and girl scouts. Check our calendar and make your reservations!
Field Trips: Since 1965 the Kansas Learning Center for Health has partnered with schools to provide students with tools to make healthy life choices. Programs are taught at the Learning Center in Halstead, Kansas.
Outreach: Our outreach programs for K-12 students utilize resources from across the nation and hands-on activities to excite students. Outreach programs can be scheduled for K-12.
Evaluating our programs is extremely important to our mission at the Kansas Learning Center for Health. Ongoing assessment ensures we are delivering high quality programs to the students in Kansas. Using pre- and post-tests with students at the center and the teacher evaluations help us quantify the impact we’re making.
During the 2007-2008 school year, student’s demonstrated considerable knowledge gained in outcomes-based tests that were performed in three program areas: general health, growth and development and drug prevention.
Teachers at the Learning Center play an important role in shaping the programs and services delivered to Kansas students. Following each program, each teacher or parent is asked to provide feedback on program content, instructor knowledge, curriculum requirements and student involvement. More than 96% of teachers rated our programs “Excellent.”
