Third Edition

We are particularly proud to present this third edition of the HLC Program. After an extensive program review, key updates were made including the following specific content enhancements:

• Updated all data, activities, vocabulary, and references to reflect most current health information
• Incorporated new books or activity resources that support lesson concepts
• Expanded vocabulary words to reflect changing social dynamics and to improve understanding of key concepts
• Diversified gender roles and reduced stereotypes
• Broadened character names (in stories and hands-on activities) to expand inclusiveness
• Simplified lesson preparation by highlighting all necessary materials at the start of each lesson activity
• Refreshed “Home Connection” parent newsletters to include more experiential learning activities and modified “Rockland News” student newsletter to reflect changes within lessons
