About
the NYS Health Education Resource Document The
Health Education Resource Guide mirrors a standards-based backwards design
process and provides a detailed framework, which enable
educators to develop or refine their health education
curriculum, instruction and assessment practices in ways that
are aligned with district, state and national standards.
It provides definition to the design
process by connecting the New York State and National Health
Education Standards for Learning and the related Performance
Indicators to the Essential Student Question, "What
health knowledge and skills do I need to know and be able to
do to be safe, healthy, and achieve the NYS and National
Standards?" The
Resource Guide contains the following components that are
critical to student health and academic achievement: the New
York State and National Health Education Standards and
Performance Indicators, the Essential Student Question,
Authentic Assessment, Diagnostic Questions, Guiding Questions,
Enduring Understandings, Health Education Skills, Functional
Knowledge, and Skill Pedagogy. (Adapted
from the New York State Education Department/Student Support
Services Network Health Education Curriculum and Assessment
Leadership Team, Scope and Sequence, Draft 2, May 2004.) Click
