GPS for Health Education Approved

Congratulations!    At the February 11, 2010, State Board of Education meeting, the State Board unanimously approved the Georgia Performance Standards for Health Education. Click below to view the Health Standards

The new Georgia Performance Standards for Health Education are content standards and provide an outline for curriculum development. The standards reflect what a health educated student should know and be able to do at each grade level (K-12). The eight Georgia Performance Standards for Health Education with accompanying elements are provided for each grade level. Rather than defining curriculum, these standards provide guidance for designing appropriate health education curriculum. The standards can and should be used to guide the development of state frameworks (ultimately helping to develop local curriculum) and /or directly guide the design of local curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
