Bowling Green, Ky. - About 35 middle-level teachers from Kentucky will be at Western Kentucky University this month for a Practical Living Teaching Academy.

The July 16-20 academy is sponsored by the Kentucky Department of Education in conjunction with the Coordinated School Health Institute and WKU's Department of Public Health.

The conference's purposes are to enhance teachers' content knowledge and improve their teaching skills. The purpose for teaching and assessing practical living is to
