Physical Health & Wellness Learning Plans

Content experts at the Georgia Department of Education have developed Learning Plans for teachers and parents. These Georgia standards-based plans were specifically designed for school districts, administrators, teachers, and parents who are working to provide students with quality content.

The plans are easy-to-use and include both “plugged and unplugged” activities. Check back for more Learning Plans in each content area as they are updated weekly.
