Teacher Guide: Using HealthSmart with Google Classroom

The launch link will bring the teacher to the HealthSmart sign-in page for Google Classroom. Log into Google as you normally would do with your school-assigned email address.

If it’s your first time logging in (or if you’ve logged out of Google since your last visit), you’ll see a prompt:

• • "HealthSmart wants to access your Google account."

• Click Allow to proceed and access the site.

(This is a standard security step—no data is shared beyond login verification.)

You should now be ready to use HealthSmart!

Lesson Navigation

The HealthSmart welcome screen under Lessons will show the teacher’s name, the district name, and the LMS. The lower part of the screen shows the grade levels of HealthSmart that are included in your subscription. In the below example, the school or district has purchased a subscription to middle school. You can also view what’s not included in the subscription.

• Select Your Grade Level:

  • Choose your grade to access appropriate content.

  • Middle/high school teachers: Also select your specific topic area.

• Access Resources:

  • All levels: Find your grade's Scope & Sequence Booklet linked here.

  • Middle/high school: Use the provided lesson plan to build a complete Healthy Relationships & Human Development Unit, combining lessons from all relevant topics.

• Accessing Content

  Clicking a topic brings up the list of lessons for that content area. In this example, a teacher has chosen the topic, Emotional & Mental Health for middle school.

HealthSmart allows school districts the autonomy for local decision-making to ensure all lessons align to state and local policies. A district administrator can be assigned content control settings to select the lessons they want educators to use while opting out of any lessons that don’t fit their scope and sequence.

To use content control settings, a district administrator can be assigned the Lesson Selector Tool which provides a toggle switch to turn on/off lesson access for all educators. See example below:

The Lesson Selector Tool is only enabled by ETR support. To request using the Lesson Selector Tool, please share the name and title of the district administrator during the HealthSmart setup call, or submit your request to support@etr.org.
