Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Hayley L.!
Hayley has recently finished her nurition course, she was able to implement some great changes throughout her time in the course. Below is her experience with the course and her changes.
What do you like most about your Carone Learning course?
What I liked most about my Carone Learning course was how I could relate the things I was learning to real life situations and, in some cases, my own life.
What have you learned in your Carone Learning course that will most help you in your life?
What I learned that will most help me in my life is the role that nutrition plays in my life. Learning this has influenced my choice in food and has helped me improve how I eat.
How has your Carone Learning course helped you improve your level of health or fitness?
The nutrition course I took has helped me improve my level of health because it has helped me improve my eating habits. I’ve eaten so much better since learned how to plan my meals and choose healthy foods.
How has your cFitness Academy instructor helped you with your course or your goals?
My instructor has helped me with my course goals by being there to help any time that I needed it and by giving feedback on everything I did.
Why did you sign up for a course through cFitness Academy, and how has taking this course online been beneficial?
I signed up for a course through cFitness Academy because I thought it would be the best option to learn more about health and fitness. Taking the course online has been beneficial because I could work on it whenever and I could work at my own pace.
Please share any other comments you have about cFitness Academy or your Carone Learning course.
cFitness has allowed me to work through health at a pace that fits my schedule. I am being more challenged and learning some great self studying skills because of online health.
Here’s what Kristen’s teacher had to say about her:
“Demonstrated a solid understanding of content (97% on Final). Also, showed a desire to apply the new information into her real life.”
In Hayley’s nutrition class she has been implementing what she’s learned about nutrition into her daily diet, she wrote about her experience.
REFLECTION DIARY: November 19, 2016 My grandma and I have been doing really well with our meal planning. The things I’ve learned from this class has helped a lot with that. I feel so much better with myself. I’m eating more, so I’m not hungry as much. But the things I’ve been eating are healthy, so not only have I been feeling more full, I have been feeling more energized. The things I have to do at work make me more active. I have to walk around a lot; I am on my feet the entire time I’m there. I also have to lift various things and sometimes move shelves. The things I have to do aren’t much, but they’re more physically active things than the things I would do normally. When I first started, I would get so tired with almost all of my tasks. Not only was I tired because I was working after school, but I was tired because I wasn’t that used to having to move around so much. Now the only reason I get tired is because I’m working after school. I’m pretty much used to the physical aspects of my job now, and that makes me feel pretty happy.
Just as all of our students are unique, we think Hayley is pretty great and we’re proud to have her in class! Thanks, Hayley!
Many traditional schools offer waivers in PE so that students with physical limitations will not have to take PE courses. However, that is really doing a dis-service to the student. Rather than opting out of PE, students should still have the opportunity to learn about health and fitness principles and participate in physical activity (if able) at their own pace and level. Schools should offer these students an alternate option.
An effective education is so much more than grammar and algebra. Education is meant to prepare children for the future challenges that they’ll confront in their lives. In such a rapidly-shifting world, it can be hard to know exactly what will be useful to students in the future. Children need to be flexible, lifelong learners. That’s why modern educators are calling for a shift that in our system that educates the whole child. 
Education is your child’s foundation. It’s one of the most important components of their early years. But while planning curriculum, not enough of us take to heart this essential truth: education is NOT one size fits all! 
Health education is so much more than just nutrition and fitness. It teaches students about all aspects of health, including mental, emotional, social, academic, environmental, and consumer health. Students learn not only about each of these aspects of health, but also about how these many aspects work together. Health education, in short, revolves around the whole individual.
Carone Learning is excited to announce a partnership with Edmentum, a leading provider of technology-driven individualized learning solutions. Carone Learning’s suite of quality health, PE, and career & elective courses will now be available to the thousands of school districts that use Edmentum’s online learning course libraries.
Our online health and PE courses offer a different kind of learning experience and teach students essential skills and healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Here is a look at some of the skills our students practice most when they pursue online education with Carone Learning.
