Teachers view overt expressions of weight stigma, such as weight-related teasing, as troublesome but are often ill-prepared to address instances of weight-related teasing when they arise in the classroom. Comprehensive school health is an emerging framework that aims to better prepare teachers to address issues of health and wellness in the classroom, including weight-related teasing. We examined the efficacy of a university course in comprehensive school health in changing pre-service teachers’ attitudes and perceptions of weight-related teasing. Pre-service teachers read a vignette and responded to 10 items about the vignette at both the beginning and end of the semester-long course. Items relating to pre-service teachers’ perception of, responsibility and obligation to address the weight-related teasing event showed significant, positive change from the beginning to end of the semester. These results suggest that exposure to developmentally sound methods of delivering health-related content can support adaptive educator reactions to weight-related teasing.

老师认为，诸如与体重有关的戏弄这样的明显的耻辱表达很麻烦，但是当他们出现在教室里时，往往无法做好应对与体重有关的戏弄的准备。全面的学校健康是一个新兴的框架，旨在更好地为教师做好准备，以解决教室中的健康问题，包括与体重有关的挑逗。我们研究了大学课程在学校综合健康方面的作用，以改变职前教师对与体重相关的挑逗的态度和看法。岗前老师会在整个学期课程的开始和结束时阅读小插图，并回答有关小插图的10项内容。与职前教师对解决与体重有关的戏弄事件的看法，责任和义务有关的项目表明，从学期开始到学期末的积极变化。这些结果表明，接触与健康相关的内容的发展上合理的方法可以支持适应性教育者对体重相关挑逗的反应。
