🎯 The seven Program Outcomes
Like a college’s program learning outcomes: seven goals every session advances.
- Professional identity: students begin to see themselves as capable of entering and belonging in the health professions.
- Networking and mentorship: students build relationships with clinicians and mentors who reflect their community.
- Communication and health literacy: students learn to explain complex health information in plain, respectful language their community understands.
- Critical thinking and clinical reasoning: students analyze information, weigh evidence, and reason their way to sound decisions.
- Hands-on clinical skills: students practice foundational skills in safe, simulated settings, never procedures on real people.
- Community health (begins in Year 2): students identify and investigate a real health need in their own community.
- Leadership: students lead, teach, and present, growing into near-peer leaders.
🪜 Bloom’s Taxonomy
Every session climbs all six thinking levels, from remembering to creating, and levels up or down by grade.
💛 RULER, social-emotional learning
Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing, and Regulating emotions: one skill woven through every session.
🩺 California CTE, Health Science & Medical Technology
Our workshop learning outcomes were created aligned to the CTE Health Science and Medical Technology pathway, and we review the mapping with your district.
🎓 UC/CSU A-G alignment
We have mapped and designed our workshops so they can align with your in-class A-G outcomes. The program does not provide or grant credit.
📊 Evidence & assessment
Short pre and post checks and portfolio documentation make growth visible. We review current statistics and evidence, and we measure before we claim.
🔬 Grounded in research
Activities are anchored to current, peer-reviewed evidence, verified before use.
ONE CONNECTED STORY
Every workshop follows one patient.
Instead of loose lessons, students follow one patient’s story and watch how one habit tips into the next like dominoes. Here is a taste from our featured dentistry workshop.
1 · The clue 🦷
Bleeding gums appear at our patient’s checkup.
2 · The chain 🔍
Students connect the habits: sugar, plaque, and an inflammation that travels beyond the mouth.
3 · The move 💪
They learn real prevention, and get ready to teach it to the adult at home.
The full storyline is part of the partner curriculum. These are just the first three dominoes.
A LOOK INSIDE
One workshop, start to finish: “Mouth-Body Detectives.”

BEFORE CLASS
The pre-module
A short online module: videos, podcasts, a self-evaluation, a reflection, and a portfolio entry. Students arrive already curious.
IN CLASS
The workshop
The hook: your mouth is a window into your whole-body health. Teams read our patient’s clues, trace the path from sugar and plaque to gum disease and whole-body inflammation, and practice real brushing and flossing technique.
AFTER CLASS, AT HOME
The post-module
A short reflection and self-evaluation, the adult-at-home activity completed together as a family, and their work published to a private portfolio. And yes, everyone leaves with a toothbrush and floss.
The theme: risk, not destiny. · Standards it touches: California CTE Patient Care pathway, plus Technical Skills, Health & Safety, and Critical Thinking anchors; A-G Laboratory Science (D) and College-Prep Elective (G). · Students leave with: a prevention plan, a technique for life, and a hands-on take-home experiment. · The human skill (RULER): understanding why shame or lack of access keeps people from dental care.
🔒 The full playbook is for our partner schools.
The complete facilitator run-of-show, materials and budget, the at-home family activities, the pre and post assessments, and the peer-reviewed evidence base are included in the Sembrando Flores Partnership Packet, not published here.
