West Virginia
The KnowConflict High School Conflict Management
Course addresses State of West Virginia Education Standards that
focus on the ability to use interpersonal skills to become responsible,
productive citizens.

Secondary
Health Education Standards Rationale |
|
Students examine personal health choices
and the connection to the world of work and assumption of
adult roles. In-depth analysis of current health issues
and concepts coupled with school-wide opportunities that
promote and reinforce the importance of good health and
positive choices need to be coordinated to have the greatest
impact on adolescent behavior. Instruction continues to
focus on prevention of all risk behaviors, however instruction
must also emphasize limiting the negative consequences of
high risk behavior and promote values and norms that are
age-appropriate and realistic. Students should have a personal
perception of risk, the ability to recognize and resist
social pressures and the skills to build positive social
relationships.
