From covering topics to building skills
Maryland’s updated Health Education Framework asks students to do more than learn health content. They practice and demonstrate skills: analyzing influences, accessing valid information, communication, decision-making, and goal-setting. That changes what a lesson looks like.
| Skill | Topic-based | Skills-based with QuaverHealth |
|---|---|---|
| Analyzing Influences | Hear that ads can be misleading. | Compare two snack ads and explain how each one tries to persuade. |
| Accessing Valid Information | Memorize a list of places to get help. | Choose the right trusted adult or source for a real-life situation. |
| Communication | Read about why saying no matters. | Role-play refusal skills with a partner. |
| Decision-Making | Learn the steps of a decision. | Walk through a choice and predict what happens next. |
| Goal-Setting | Talk about healthy habits. | Set a personal goal, track it for a week, and reflect. |
Every QuaverHealth•PE lesson maps to Maryland’s frameworks. The correlation documents show exactly where.

Writing your own health lessons?
Plenty of Maryland districts are working through the new framework with the staff they have. That usually goes well until you hit the grades or the skills nobody had time to build out.
QuaverHealth•PE works as a supplement, not just a full adoption. Use the lessons that fill your gaps and keep what your team already wrote.

Meticia JacksonHealth Teacher
“Lesson planning is so easy with Quaver. The language for learning objectives is provided. I don’t have to search for videos and figure out what verbiage to use. Quaver has it all ready-to-go for me.”
Mayra TrilloPhysical Education Teacher
“Before Quaver, it was a challenge finding good material, and I had to visit various websites to find material. It is much smoother having everything I need in one place, and it’s easy to find what I’m looking for.”
