School Curriculum
The Covenant BodyMind Initiative school curriculum translates the vision of the program through in depth, interactive lesson plans. Each lesson includes the objective and topics to be addressed, supplies needed, and the lesson outline. It is designed to be presented in ten 50-minute sessions conducted over ten consecutive weeks. Our clinical experience suggests that conducting the sessions one week apart helps the participants learn and apply the skills discussed in the curriculum session. Experience suggests that the optimal group size is approximately 15-20 participants because this ensures that all group members will be able to participate verbally and that group leader(s) will allow sufficient attention to each individual. Schools have emerged as one of the best settings for implementation of a wellness program. Health and education both promote the optimal well-being of the child, therefore combining the efforts of each sector more effectively result in a potent partnership for promoting health and learning (Flynn, et al., 2006).
