HAST Education Lessons

How can we develop a HAST Education lesson?  What are some of the steps that educators can take to develop a lesson that is engaging for students, yet relevant to what they are learning, and can be applicable to the current problems which they are facing?  In this post we share some of the steps which we have found are helpful to develop a HAST Education Lesson.


  • Develop the lesson around a central theme.  Choose a theme for your lesson, then incorporate the different strands of HAST education into it.
  • Research the theme of the lesson.  Find what sources are available and can be accessed by students.  Make sure that they are up to date, and their information is relevant.
  • Create variations of the lesson.  Do not limit yourself to the "one master lesson plan".  Adjust your lesson so it best fits the needs of your students.
  • Use a diversified approach to present the lesson.  Present the lesson through various points of view.  Doing this can help engage students who may not be reached with the one lesson approach.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the lesson.  Set the goals you want your students to achieve and compare them to those achieved by them.
We hope that you find these steps to be helpful as you plan your student lessons and incorporate that many aspects of HAST Education into the classroom.
