Sun Smart U

COMING THIS JANUARY!

Program Description

The Skin Cancer Foundation is developing a FREE youth education program called Sun Smart U to help middle school teachers educate their Health and Physical Education students about the importance of skin cancer prevention and give them the tools they need to protect themselves from the sun. The program aims to make sun safety behaviors like wearing sun-protective clothing and sunscreen automatic and easy for students. The curriculum also emphasizes the importance of early detection with information about the warning signs of skin cancer. 

Teachers may select one of three formats for their classrooms: a SMART or Promethean interactive whiteboard, or PowerPoint. Through classroom instruction and activities, these lessons are a fun and easy way to teach students lifelong sun safety habits.
