EDU 272 Educational Journey in Well-Being
Since our recent global pandemic, there has been a heightened awareness regarding overall well-being. Arguably, many organizations and workplaces have moved from not only awareness but to acting for the betterment of their constituents. While not all-inclusive of the many dimensions that contribute to an individual’s well-being, this course will take students on an academic journey through the following four pillars: physical, mental, social, and spiritual. Students will examine the academic literature in each of these areas to develop a personal and lifetime plan for well-being. Through a critical lens, each plan will be researched-based. Students will expand on their newfound knowledge to develop a wellness plan for a particular group of interest outside their community (ex: K-12 students, local community members, elderly, etc…). Note: This class will include a low-impact physical component.
