  • Society of Public Health Education (SOPHE)

P.E. AND Health Education

  • P.E. primary goal: create lifelong active people
  • skills taught in P.E. are meant to encourage behaviors that keep everyone moving as they age (lifelong movers)

  • skills taught in H.E. are meant to encourage people to make the "healthy" decision
