In today’s world, proper health education is becoming more important than ever. This is thanks largely to the conveniences in our lives. Easy access to delicious, but nutritionally deficient meals, powerful technology, and lowered need for physical activity leads us into not taking care of ourselves as well as we should. This puts today’s children at a disadvantage that is slowly chipping away at their overall health. By becoming a health education teacher, you and other teachers in your field can work to put an end to this phenomenon.
Before you can start teaching professionally, however, you must prove you’re capable of the job.
Incoming health education teachers in the state of Illinois are required to earn a passing score on the ILTS Health Education exam before they can launch their careers.
The ILTS, also known as the Illinois Licensure Testing System, is designed to assess your knowledge of teaching in your field and all that it entails.
No teacher in the state has or can earn their certification without scoring well on this exam.
Like its sibling ILTS subject tests, the ILTS Health Education test is fairly lengthy. You will be given a time limit of precisely three hours and 45 minutes to complete 125 “selected-response” (or multiple choice) questions.
Each of these questions falls under one of five relevant subjects. These subjects include:
- School Health Education
- Personal Health
- Health-Related Skills
- Community Health and Disease Prevention
- Family and Interpersonal Relationships
