CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES AND LESSON IDEAS

HOSA – Future Health Professionals is pleased to provide “on-demand” lessons for HOSA Advisors with a desire to connect HOSA Competitive Events with classroom curriculum.  The opportunities began as a response to the change in the classroom setting encountered during the COVID-19 Pandemic, but continues to be an excellent option for Health Science instructors to use in their classroom.  From classroom activities, links to websites, alumni sharing how HOSA and Competitive Events prepared them for their future careers, lesson plans, video lessons, what HOSA event is right for the member, and engagement strategies; the “on-demand” page meets the needs of both HOSA Advisors and members. 

The website is updated monthly and aligns with the Competitive Events annual topics.   A brief video summary about this page can be found HERE. 

UPDATED National Curriculum Standards

Align your Health Science Curriculum to the standards.  Here are links to WI State and UPDATED National Health Science Standards.
