General Classroom Instructions FOR THE ADVISORS: These lesson plans aim to apply the National Health Education Standards (NHES) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Different learning modalities that are youthcentered have been incorporated to suit the different learning styles of students. The advisors should be trained in cultural competency and the strategies and techniques of motivational interviewing. Using this instructional methodology, the advisors will be able to effectively and efficiently engage the students based on their sociocultural background. In the process, they will optimize the potentiality of the students to increase their selfefficacy. Ultimately, in the short and longterm, the students will be able to initiate and maintain behavioral changes in their specific sociocultural environments. Preceding the first lesson plan implementation on each topic, the advisors will administer a preassessment test to evaluate the level of knowledge and skills of the students on the topic. Following the implementation of the second lesson plan for knowledge review and more skills acquisition, the advisors will collect the same data using a postassessment test. A comparative analysis of the students selfassessments will reveal their progress level in knowledge and skills acquisition on each topic. These data will also inform on the modifications that may be needed in the lesson plan formats and contents, as well as the advisors’ approaches in delivering the lesson plans, to suit the particular needs of different groups of students, even of one student.
