As part of the FUSED Health Education Series, this article outlines three critical health curriculum development and design aspects: standards, statutes, and data. Important documents and resources are provided for each element supporting and advocating health education. All health educators must familiarize themselves with and incorporate these aspects before starting to design a health education curriculum, as combining these critical aspects is an essential part of the curriculum-design process when building a FUSED unit. This article highlights the practice of being “purposeful and intentional” by designing a curriculum with specific lessons and activities grounded in the current standards, laws, and data-based statistics outlining students’ needs.
