Lesson Menu #
The curriculum is organized into eight modules. These modules contain new lessons for each grade level. Each of the eight modules includes four week-long lessons. Modules and lessons can be taught in any order to fit classroom needs.
On the right, you will also see Community Resources. These are downloadable resources that can be used to enrich the teaching of each module.
Community Resources #
Community Engagement Resources can be used as an enhancement to our interactive classroom lessons. These resources provide the teacher with approved online websites, community visitor suggestions, and fun school and community-wide project ideas that broaden and enrich the teaching of each module.
Lesson Views #
After choosing a grade and lesson module, teachers can select from 3 views: Lesson View, Daily Dose, or Health + PE.
Lesson View
The first tab is the Lesson View, which shows the entire 45-minute lesson with notes for the teacher. This view tends to be best for the school nurse, counselor, or general health educator.
Daily Dose
Daily Dose provides a 5-7 minute activity. This is best for the teacher who has only a few minutes to deliver a Health lesson. This view culminates in a reflection, quiz, or challenge on the final day of the week.
Health + PE
The Health + PE tab was designed specifically for PE teachers in charge of health instruction. The activities, games, and teacher notes weave together both Health and PE learning standards. The first three screens work as active warm-up activities and the remaining two work as cool-down activities.
Lesson Assessments
QuaverHealth•PE has assessments in each of the three views: Lesson View, Daily Dose, and Health•PE. Click here, and we will cover a few of the different types of assessments used.
Launch a Lesson #
QuaverHealth•PE is built on a series of screens with a variety of lesson content on each.
After launching a lesson, click the Overview button to view a window with lesson objectives stated as “I Can” statements.
A built-in audio player with relevant songs is included with every lesson.
Accessibility Mode #
Use the white and blue accessibility toggle to enter Accessibility mode.
You can learn more about QuaverEd’s compliance to Accessibility on our Accessibility FAQ page.
Lesson Navigation Bar #
To move between screens, click on the previous and next buttons. If you’d like to jump between screens quickly, click on the title bar at the bottom and select the screen you want.
The exit button at the bottom right takes you back to the lesson summary.
Screen Order Editor #
All screens in the lesson are displayed when clicking the title bar. You have the ability to temporarily rearrange the order of screens in a lesson. Click the purple edit icon in the top right corner.
After clicking the edit icon, select a screen and use the yellow arrows to adjust its position. (shown below) Alternatively, you can drag and drop screens to reorder them. Click ‘OK’ when the screens are in your desired order.
Please note that these changes are temporary; once you close the Lesson Presenter window, the screens will return to their original order.
Lesson Menu #
Every lesson screen features a Settings and a Create menu. You can access these menus from the curriculum, Resource Manager, or specific toolboxes like the Teacher Toolbox, and you’ll encounter them in various areas of the curriculum.
At the top of each menu, you’ll notice yellow arrows. Clicking either arrow will simultaneously hide both the Settings and Create menus, as shown in the bottom left image. Clicking the yellow arrow on either side will reopen both menus, as illustrated in the bottom right image.
Closed Menu
Open Menu
Important: The menus automatically adjust to your device’s screen size, appearing on each side of your window or merging into a single menu as needed. For example, a tablet may consolidate the menus, while an interactive whiteboard may display them separately. Both versions are shown below.
You can merge the menus using your browser’s built-in zoom feature. Zooming in will combine them at the bottom of the screen, while zooming out will separate the menus to each side again, depending on your device/browser capabilities.
