Health Education

 

2009 Arizona Health Education Standards– The 2009 Health Education Standard replaces the previous 1997 Standard. The 2009 Health Education Standard should have been fully implemented by Arizona schools as of the 2010-2011 school year.

Arizona Revised Statutes Related to Health Education- The purpose of this document is to provide Arizona schools and LEAs a singular location for the most current Health Education Statutes for quick reference. This document may be updated as necessary.

National Health Education Standards (NHES)– The National Health Education Standards (NHES) were developed to establish, promote and support health-enhancing behaviors for students in all grade levels—from pre-Kindergarten through grade 12. The NHES provides a framework for teachers, administrators, and policymakers in designing or selecting curricula, allocating instructional resources, and assessing student achievement and progress. Importantly, the standards provide students, families, and communities with concrete expectations for health education.

Characteristics of an Effective Health Education Curriculum– Today’s state-of-the-art health education curricula reflect the growing body of research that emphasizes: 

  • Teaching functional health information (essential knowledge)
  • Shaping personal values and beliefs that support healthy behaviors
  • Shaping group norms that value a healthy lifestyle
  • Developing the essential health skills necessary to adopt, practice, and maintain health-enhancing behaviors

 

The Health Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (HECAT)– The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Health Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (HECAT) can help school districts, schools, and others conduct a clear, complete, and consistent analysis of your health education curriculum.

Arizona School and Behavior Health Partnerships, A Resource Guide- The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) and the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) are pleased to provide this mental health resource guide for principals, other education administrators, school mental health professionals and anyone who wishes to be a voice that promotes the need for school mental health resources in Arizona.

SHAPE America Digital Download Library- Classroom-ready & teacher-friendly resources you download and print right now to help your students on the path to health and physical literacy.

KidsHealth in the Classroom- KidsHealth in the Classroom offers educators free health-related lesson plans for PreK through 12th grade. Each Teacher's Guide includes discussion questions, classroom activities and extensions, printable handouts, quizzes, and answer keys all aligned to National Health Education Standards. 

EVERFI Wellness Matters: K-12 Health & Wellness Courses- digital health curriculum resources to help teach crucial health and wellness skills in any type of learning environment.
