The Standards
In the United States, local school districts and state education agencies have the authority to develop their own standards for health education curriculum and instruction. The National Consensus respects those responsibilities. We provide model guidance for their consideration that is based on the best contemporary evidence and practice from the field of health education. We encourage modifications to address local needs.
The Professionals
The National Consensus involves health education leaders from throughout the United States. These leaders include K-12 health teachers, local school district curriculum directors, state education agency health education directors, national nongovernmental organization leadership, curriculum developers, academicians in health education including teacher educators and higher education management, and other experts in education and public health.
