These programs support the UK educator preparation unitβs theme of Research and Reflection for Learning and Leading. The process of reflective decision-making is imbedded in the departmental philosophy that students learn best through experiencing. The Health Promotion Program is guided by the standards of the American Association of Health Education (AAHE) and the Kentucky New Teacher Standards.
