Health Education Content Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (2019)

The Health Education Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (2019 edition) was adopted by the State Board of Education (SBE) on May 8, 2019. This document supports the goals of the Health Education Content Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve and is an important step forward in our ongoing commitment to ensure that all California students are prepared for college, twenty-first century careers, and citizenship. This framework models the diversity of our great state and reflects the inclusionary objectives of the State Board of Education (SBE) and the California Department of Education (CDE). The guiding principle of the Health Education Framework is a focus on the idea that healthy students are successful students. Healthy students, healthy relationships, and a healthier environment are achievable goals through health education that fully addresses the Health Education Content Standards.
