Question:
Hello! I am preparing for next CHES and i am looking for good articles, examples, links about the seven core responsibilities of the Certified Health Education Specialist. Thanks
Answer:

You are asking for an enormous amount of information as the seven core responsibilities cover a lot of territory. However, the Community Tool Box (CTB) is one of the best resources for providing this type of information. The CTB has hundreds of how-to sections related to these seven core areas. Here are a few ways to access that information. You could use the Search Engine. Enter a request for information from Area II: Plan Health Education Strategies, Interventions, and Programs from the seven core responsibilities, such as "measurable objectives" and it will return links to CTB Section 8.3: Creating Objectives. Using the Search Engine should lead you to materials related to most of the subcompetencies for the CHES credentialing requirements. Try it out to see what you can find. Other pathways into the information include the Table of Content found at http://ctb.ku.edu/tools/en/ that you can scan for relevant materials. Finally, you can look over the resources under Plan the Work at http://ctb.ku.edu/tools/tk/en/corecompetencies.jsp that has related tools and supports for similar competencies.
