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 provide a framework for teachers, administrators, and policy makers 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.
