STANDARD COURSE OF STUDY

HEALTHFUL LIVING = HEALTH EDUCATION + PHYSICAL EDUCATION


NOTE:: To be compliant with House Bill 88, the 2006 Healthful Living Standard Course of Study is currently under revision. To view House Bill 88 please go to: http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/


The intent of the North Carolina Healthful Living Standard Course of Study is to establish competency goals and objectives for the teaching and learning of behaviors that contribute to a healthful lifestyle and improved quality of life for all students.

The NC Healthful Living Standard Course of Study is a combination of two content areas: health education and physical education. The two courses should complement each other as reflected in the Standard Course of Study Strands, Competency Goals, and Objectives. Attention should also be given to the Grade-level Major Emphases and Focus areas to ensure students experience a comprehensive sequential educational program that involves learning a variety of skills and concepts that are health-enhancing.

In addition to the Elementary and Middle School grade level expectations for Healthful Living as outlined by the North Carolina Healthful Living Standard Course of Study, a minimum of 1 credit of Healthful Living, which reflects both Health Education and Physical Education, is required for graduation from a North Carolina public high school.
