Definition
- Formal health education includes the systematic, purposeful, and strategic implementation of instruction and supporting activities designed to improve health literacy, including the assessment of functional knowledge and life skills that are important to personal health and the health of others. The health education curriculum may be delivered in a stand-alone class taught by educators who have degrees in school health education; it may be embedded in other content-based courses taught by educators with related teaching certification (e.g., physical education, science, family and consumer sciences); or it may be taught by elementary classroom teachers, school nurses and counselors who have minimal or no training in health education pedagogy.
