Over the past two decades there has been a dramatic shift in many aspects of society. In today’s schools, assessment and accountability drives curriculum. This has brought about increased rigor and pressure to achieve in core academic areas on students, teachers and administrators. As a result, many schools have been forced to deemphasize the arts and physical education. In addition, while childhood obesity has slowly climbed and tripled since the 1960’s HEALTH EDUCATION has not kept pace in order to combat this alarming epidemic.

At FFAME we have seen first hand the demands placed on teachers to have students reach the high academic standards set in the areas of writing, reading, and mathematics. Admittedly and regretfully, teachers have continuously expressed their frustration in not being able to take the time to plan and prepare effective lessons in auxiliary areas such as health. As a result, in many school districts across North America critical subjects like health are being ignored or merely glossed over making little if any positive impact on student’s actions which lead to healthy behaviors. In order to illicit long lasting behavioral changes that lead to improved wellness a consistent year long health curriculum must be implemented. This program must be simple for teachers to utilize, engage students, invite families and welcome the community. This plan cannot take significant time from core academic areas and must be affordable. FFAME has created such a program.

With the technological explosion of the past decade the way children engage in learning has forever changed. As pencil, paper and books are pulled off the shelf the moans and groans of students rise and attention spans as well as motivation can often diminish. At FFAME we have developed a series of HEALTH TALK DVD’s aimed at elementary school age children that entertain, educate, and inspire students to take actions that lead to greater lifelong health. While HEALTH TALK is the focus of FFAME’s school program we have also created several online interactive applications, parent resources, and community based activities that can encourage healthy lifestyle change.

Prior to the development of FFAME we analyzed a collection of National, State, and Provincial health and academic standards.  As a result, we have created a program that hits on nearly every elementary health standard, and also contributes to the students' understanding of multiple core academic standards.

FFAME’s teaching strategies have been assessed and the positive results have been documented.  Hundreds of students achieved on average a 138% increase in health knowledge by engaging in the FFAME health curriculum.  In addition, we have heard the testimonies of countless teachers and parents as they have witnessed positive healthy behavioral changes that have been implemented by FFAME participants.  Most importantly, we have observed first hand the enjoyment the children have experienced as wellness concepts have been taught through the Health Talk videos and interactive online activities.
