A Message from the State Board of Education andthe State Superintendent of Public InstructionGood health and academic success gohand in hand. Healthy children makebetter students, and better studentsbecome healthy, successful adults who areproductive members of their communities.Comprehensive health education thataddresses the physical, mental, emotional,and social aspects of health teaches studentshow to maintain and improve their health;prevent disease; reduce health-related riskbehaviors; and develop health knowledge,attitudes, and skills that foster academicachievement, increase attendance rates,and improve behavior at school.As with students throughout the UnitedStates, California’s students are facingincreasingly serious challenges to goodhealth: obesity and diabetes are rising atalarming rates; asthma continues to be aleading cause of student absences; and toomany adolescents continue to make choicesthat negatively impact their lives. It isessential that students learn how to managehealth problems they already face and toavoid additional health problems in thefuture. Students need health education.Quality health education programs helpstudents achieve their highest academicpotential. The Health Education ContentStandards for California Public Schools,Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve providesguidance on the essential skills and knowledge that students should have at eachgrade level. Local educators are encouragedto apply these standards when developingcurricular and instructional strategies forhealth education and other interdisciplinarysubjects.Recognizing the significant impact ofhealth on academic achievement, we must doeverything possible to improve the quality ofhealth education in California schools. Thehealth education content standards representour commitment to promoting excellence inhealth education for all students.Theodore R. MitchellPresident, State Board of EducationJack O’ConnellState Superintendent of Public Instruction

IntroductionHealth education is a continuum of learning experiences that enables students, asindividuals and as members of society, tomake informed decisions, modify behaviors,and change social conditions in ways thatare health enhancing and increase health literacy. The health education standards definethe essential skills and knowledge that allstudents need in order to become “healthliterate”; they represent a strong consensusof the essential knowledge and skills thatstudents should have at specific grade levels,from kindergarten through grade twelve, inCalifornia’s public schools. The health education standards also reflect California’s commitment to health education and serve as a basisfor learning assessments, the Health Frameworkfor California Public Schools, and instructionalresources and materials. Standards do notprescribe methods of instruction.A primary goal of the health educationstandards is to improve academic achievement and health literacy for all students inCalifornia. Four characteristics are identifiedas essential to health literacy. Health-literateindividuals are: Critical thinkers and problem solverswhen confronting health problems andissues Self-directed learners who have the competence to use basic health informationand services in health-enhancing ways Effective communicators who organizeand convey beliefs, ideas, and information about health issuesvi Responsible and productive citizenswho help ensure that their communityis kept healthy, safe, and secureThese four essential characteristics of healthliterate individuals are woven throughout thehealth education standards.Background of the StandardsIn October 2005, Assembly Bill (AB) 689,cosponsored by State Superintendent ofPublic Instruction (SSPI) Jack O’Connell,was signed into law by Governor ArnoldSchwarzenegger, adding Section 51210.8 tothe California Education Code (EC); thatsection required the State Board of Education(SBE), based on recommendations from theSSPI, to adopt content standards for healtheducation. The health education standardsshape the direction of health educationinstruction for children and youths inCalifornia’s public schools: they provideschool districts with fundamental tools fordeveloping health education curricula andimproving student achievement in this area;and they help ensure that all students inkindergarten through high school receivehigh-quality health education instruction,providing students with the knowledge,skills, and confidence to lead healthy lives.Health education has undergone aparadigm shift over the last 15 years. It hasevolved from a primarily knowledge-basedsubject to a focused, skills-based subject.This shift came about as data from nationaland state surveys—including the California

IntroductionHealthy Kids Survey—indicated that althoughyouths had knowledge of what was harmfulto their health, they did not have the skills toavoid risky behaviors. The students understood why certain behaviors could and wouldcause harm, but they still engaged in riskybehaviors.The focus in the health education standardsis on teaching the skills that enable studentsto make healthy choices and avoid highrisk behaviors. Eight overarching standardsdescribe essential concepts and skills; they aretaught within the context of six health contentareas. Each skill is learned and practicedspecific to the content area and behavior.An Essential DisciplineHealth education is an integral part of theeducation program for all students. Groundedin the body of sound education research, thehealth education curricula in local school districts should be organized into a scope andsequence that support the development anddemonstration of increasingly sophisticatedessential knowledge, attitudes, and skills.A comprehensive health education programis designed to promote healthy living anddiscourage health-risk behaviors among allstudents.Sound health education programs includestructured learning opportunities that engagestudents as active learners. Through qualityinstructional approaches, learners increaseessential knowledge and are encouragedto compare and contrast their beliefs andperceptions about health issues. Schools arein a unique and powerful position to improvehealth outcomes for youths. Today’s youngpeople are confronted with health, educational, and social challenges not experiencedto the same degree by previous generations;violence, alcohol and other drug use, obesity,unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitteddiseases (STDs), and disrupted familyenvironments can compromise academicsuccess and health. Students should havean opportunity to practice essential skills tomaintain healthy lifestyles. Such a foundationis reflected in the health education contentstandards.Teachers and school districts are encouraged to enrich their students’ instructionalenvironments and learning opportunities by: Using standards-based, theory-driven,and research-based approaches to healthinstruction Identifying and collaborating withappropriate community and healthagencies Cultivating meaningful parentinvolvement in health education Focusing instruction on essentialknowledge and skills that will fosterhealth-risk reduction among studentsOverarching Content Standardsand RationalesThe eight overarching health contentstandards for kindergarten through gradetwelve are presented below, along with therationale for each standard.Standard 1: Essential Health ConceptsAll students will comprehend essentialconcepts related to enhancing health.Rationale: Understanding essential conceptsabout the relationships between behaviorand health provides the foundation formaking informed decisions about healthrelated behaviors and for selecting appropriatehealth products and services.Standard 2: Analyzing HealthInfluencesAll students will demonstrate the ability toanalyze internal and external influences thataffect health.Rationale: Health choices are affected by avariety of influences.
