National Health Education Standards

The National Health Education Standards 3rd Edition is an initiative of the National Consensus for School Health Education (NCSHE). SOPHE is proud to be a part of the NCSHE which created the revised 2022 version of the National Health Education Standards.

The National Health Education Standards 3rd Edition represents the ongoing work of national professional organizations that developed both the National Health Education Standards: Achieving Health Literacy (Joint Committee on National Health Education Standards, 1995) and National Health Education Standards: Achieving Excellence (Joint Committee on National Health Education Standards, 2007). 

The National Consensus is a collaborative that was created to address the need to update health education standards for schools. These organizations are: the American School Health Association, Eta Sigma Gamma, the Foundation for the Advancement of Health Education, the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, SOPHE, and the Society of State Leaders of Health and Physical Education.
