Oklahoma Academic Standards for Health Education

Introduction The overarching goal of school health education in Oklahoma is to ensure that school aged youth become health literate individuals who possess the skills, knowledge and dispositions to lead healthy active lives. The health education content standards and respective grade level-specific performance outcomes presented here provide the expectations that school programs and services will set for all Oklahoma students.

The compilations of the standards are from extensive collaboration and research by three committees (Executive, Writing and Drafting). The committees had representatives from Oklahoma physical education/health teachers, principals, university physical education/health professors, parents and state agency representatives. The research consisted of reviewing evidenced based materials, including research of other state and national standards.

 Standard 1: Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health.  Standard 2: Students will analyze the influence of family, peers, culture, media, technology, and other factors on health behaviors.  Standard 3: Students will demonstrate the ability to access valid information and products and services to enhance health.  Standard 4: Students will demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.  Standard 5: Students will demonstrate the ability to use decision-making skills to enhance health.  Standard 6: Students will demonstrate the ability to use goal-setting skills to enhance health.  Standard 7: Students will demonstrate the ability to practice health-enhancing behaviors and avoid or reduce health risks.  Standard 8: Students will demonstrate the ability to advocate for personal, family, and community health.

An effective health education program offers all students the opportunity to gain the needed skillfulness, knowledge and dispositions toward healthy lifestyles. The eight health education standards provide a framework for physical educators across Oklahoma to ensure school aged students become physically literate.

It is the responsibility of schools to provide opportunities for all students to become competent, literate and enthusiastic learners, in ways that make health class a highly desired, enjoyable, and worthwhile experience. Students who participate in effective health education programs receive a variety of benefits in the areas of decision-making, goal setting and knowledge, so they can develop essential health skills necessary to adopt, practice, and maintain health- enhancing behaviors.
