Abstract
The following is the description of an educational gamble. Even before Dewey, educators have wanted to involve students in the educational process. Drug use by students has catapulted educators into the need to cooperate with students in the development and execution of meaningful curricula in health education. Based on this need to re-evaluate health education methodology the Carmel Central Schools embarked on a student centered, created and executed program. Students were trained to develop a curriculum and teach it. These students also trained selected leaders in each health class to run their own micro-group discussion. The role of the teacher became that of a resource person.Keywords
