Health Education Assessment Tool (HEAT)
SHAPE America’s Health Education Assessment Tool (HEAT) is an assessment bank of more than 800 reviewed test items that health and physical education teachers can easily use in their classrooms.
These assessments have been reviewed and revised from the original Health Education Assessment Project (HEAP), which began in 1993 to develop effective health education resources to improve students’ health literacy.
