In later chapters, models of prevention (with a focus on health risk behaviors), target population characteristics, administrative support, maximizing participation, factors that influence learning, and numerous other critical subjects are covered. Throughout, readers are challenged to cultivate practical skills, including learning how to write learning objectives, implement teaching strategies, use graphic organizers, plan lessons, create rubrics, and assess and evaluate progress.The second edition features increased focus on assessment and evaluation.
