Health Education Heroes (HEH) is a free 4-week professional development program for teachers of health, PE, and wellness in grades K - 12 to learn how to apply technology to deliver culturally responsive school-based health education, develop a theory of change, and pilot Lessonbee with students in a cohort of like-minded health and wellness educators.

HEH was created to equip health teachers on the frontlines of the youth mental health crisis with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to maximize instructional time and increase student engagement. While the average US students receive 10 hours of health education per year with no systems to ensure consistency or validate learning, HEH students receive an average of 40+ hours of health education every year with consistent delivery, tracking, and learning validation.

HEH is an initiative of Lessonbee, an educational technology company that supports sustained outcomes in health literacy and well-being. With Lessonbee, you can teach health, check-in, and support individual needs, all in a single platform that educates, validates, and celebrates learners at every level.  Lessonbee provides skill-building health education through adaptive story-based lessons that provide a relevant and emotionally affirming experience for students in grades K-12. We use designed adaptivity to create self-paced lessons where students explore health dilemmas and health choices through role play. Our learning paths allow students to choose their own adventure as they develop skills to manage and nurture individual, family, and community health. 

For schools and districts, Lessonbee ensures health education compliance with standards-aligned lessons that save teachers time while increasing student engagement in health class and their investment in making healthy lifestyle choices.
