Health

California Health Education Framework  was adopted in May of 2019.

The primary purpose of the framework is to provide guidance to teachers of health education that will assist them in addressing significant changes to health education instruction.

California Health Education Standards

​“Quality health education programs help students achieve their highest academic potential. The​ Health Education Content Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve provides guidance on the essential skills and knowledge that students should have at each grade level. Local educators are encouraged to apply these standards when developing curricular and instructional strategies for health education and other interdisciplinary subjects.

Recognizing the significant impact of health on academic achievement, we must do everything possible to improve the quality of health education in California schools. The health education content standards ​represent our commitment to promoting excellence in health education for all students.”
