Nutrition, Health & Wellness

Health education supports students’ health, resilience, total well-being and academic success so they may reach their aspirations, from early learning through college, career and citizenship. 

Providing students with a high-quality, comprehensive health education equips and empowers them with the skills, knowledge and attitudes to address their current and future health needs and challenges. Health literacy is essential to students’ social, emotional, mental, physical, and cognitive development.

Health literate individuals are able to find, understand and use information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. This contributes to resilience, well-being, healthy relationships and a positive quality of life as well as prevents and reduces the risk of disease, injury and death.

今日健康教育 反映了日益增多的研究强调：

  • 支持整个儿童的健康、适应力和全面幸福（例如学生的社交、情感、心理、身体和认知发展）。
  • 培养符合国家健康教育标准的健康素养技能。
  • 利用与优先风险主题相一致的相关功能信息构建功能知识。
  • 加强与家庭和社区的联系。
  • 通过互动和社交学习体验来满足学生的需求和兴趣。
  • 通过安全、包容和关怀的信息和学习环境培养支持积极健康行为的态度、价值观和信念。

这 National Health Education Standards: Achieving Excellence (NHES) are fused on developing students’ health literacy skills to proficiency within and across grade levels:

  • 标准 1：理解概念 – Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health. 
  • 标准 2：分析影响 – Students will analyze the influence of family, peers, culture, media, technology and other factors on health behavior.
  • 标准 3：获取信息、产品和服务 – Students will demonstrate the ability to access valid information, products and services.
  • 标准4：人际沟通 – Students will demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.
  • 标准 5：决策 – Students will demonstrate the ability to use decision-making skills to enhance health.
  • 标准 6：目标设定 – Students will demonstrate the ability to use goal-setting skills to enhance health.
  • 标准 7：自我管理 – Students will demonstrate the ability to practice health-enhancing behaviors and avoid or reduce health risks.
  • 标准 8：倡导 – Students will demonstrate the ability to advocate for personal, family and community health.

While the primary focus of Health Education is the development of health skills, these skills must be addressed in conjunction with functional information in the context of priority risk topics. Standards-based health education must be age and developmentally appropriate, medically accurate and provide factual information in all priority risk topics:

  • Mental and Emotional Health.
  • Healthy Eating and Physical Activity.
  • Personal Health and Wellness.
  • Safety (Unintentional Injury Prevention).
  • Violence Prevention.
  • Tobacco Use Prevention.
  • Alcohol and Other Drug Use Prevention.
  • Sexual Health and Responsibility.

Note: Health Education in prekindergarten is aligned to the Hawai‘i Early Learning and Development Standards (HELDS).
