The National Health Education Standards (NHES) were developed to establish, promote, and support health-enhancing behaviors for students in all grade levels—from pre-Kindergarten through grade 12. The NHES provide a framework for teachers, administrators, and policy makers in designing or selecting curricula, allocating instructional resources, and assessing student achievement and progress.

The NIH Curriculum Supplement Series has been designed for educators (grades K through 12) to promote inquiry-based learning and to stimulate student's interest in health and science. Each supplement is a self-contained teacher's guide and includes one to two weeks' worth of lessons in science and human health.
