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強調：

  • 支持整個兒童的健康、適應力和全面幸福（例如學生的社交、情緒、心理、身體和認知發展）。
  • 培養符合國家健康教育標準的健康素養技能。
  • 利用與優先風險主題一致的相關功能資訊建構功能知識。
  • 加強與家庭和社區的聯繫。
  • 透過互動和社交學習體驗來滿足學生的需求和興趣。
  • 透過安全、包容和關懷的資訊和學習環境培養支持正向健康行為的態度、價值觀和信念。

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

  • 標準 1：理解概念 – Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health. 
  • 標準 2：分析影響 – Students will analyze the influence of family, peers, culture, media, technology and other factors on health behavior.
  • 標準 3：獲取資訊、產品和服務 – Students will demonstrate the ability to access valid information, products and services.
  • 標準4：人際溝通 – Students will demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.
  • 標準 5：決策 – Students will demonstrate the ability to use decision-making skills to enhance health.
  • 標準 6：目標設定 – Students will demonstrate the ability to use goal-setting skills to enhance health.
  • 標準 7：自我管理 – Students will demonstrate the ability to practice health-enhancing behaviors and avoid or reduce health risks.
  • 標準 8：倡導 – 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).
