1. Colorado Comprehensive Health Education Standards
Colorado has established Comprehensive Health Education Standards for grades Pre-K-12. Health education standards are intended to help prepare students with information they needs in order to be successful using the 21st century skills in our global economy. Mastery of the concepts and skills within a standard means that a student has facility with a skill or concept in multiple contexts. This PowerPoint will familiarize you with the 7th grade standards.
7th Grade

2. Comprehensive Health Education Standards
Physical & Personal Wellness
Emotional & Social Wellness
Prevention & Risk Management
There are three comprehensive health education standards for every grade level PreK-12. They are Physical & Personal Wellness, Emotional and Social Wellness, and Prevention & Risk Management. Each standard has defined grade level expectations. These grade level expectations scaffold upon each other to prepare students to graduate into the “real” world armed with the skills and concepts necessary to maintain personal health and wellness. These are skills that students will use throughout their lifetime. In addition, when students learn to apply and use these skills, they will be more successfully academically and will be more likely to reach personal and career goals. The Comprehensive Health Education Standards are clearly in line with the Center School District core belief that we are preparing our students to be successful in life.

(This page is specific to the elementary, but can be revised slightly as a resource page for MS & HS.)
So, how do you effectively implement these standards without a dedicated health education class. Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed? We understand that it may even be impossible to implement with complete fidelity and mastery all of these standards given the other demands on class time. However, given the importance of health education to not only the health of the students, but also their academic success and future realization of goals, it is important that we attempt to provide as much health education as possible. In fact, health education can be even more impactful when integrated into other content areas. So, you can first become familiar with the standards. You have begun this process by listening to this PowerPoint. Thank you! Next, find ways to integrate the standards into other academic disciplines that you teach. Make healthy messages a part of your classroom culture. Utilize the language of health education throughout the school day. Encourage the use of skills learned through health education in your classroom. Finally, utilize the resources at the links provided for ideas about teaching to the health education standards as well as how to integrate into other academic disciplines. Included in these links are concept maps that link to the other content areas and their standards. Finally, please do not hesitate to access the help your health education coordinators—Katrina Ruggles, Marsha Felmlee, and Carla Smith. All three have had extensive training in the implementation of the health standards across the grade levels.
