OVERVIEW
 |
| |
|
| |
Health education in Vermont is currently centered on the new Health Grade Cluster Expectation (GCEs). Health GCEs are organized into seven content areas: Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs; Family, Social and Sexual Health; Mental and Emotional Health, Nutrition and Physical Activity; Personal Health and Wellness; and Violence and Injury Prevention. Like the Grade Level Expectations in other content areas, the Health Grade Cluster Expectations are more specific statements of the Vermont standards in Vermont Framework of Standards & Learning Opportunities. However, unlike the Grade Level Expectations which delineate specific grade levels, these grade expectations are organized by Grade Clusters (pre-K and K; 1 and 2; 3 and 4; 5 and 6; 7 and 8; and high school). The purpose of using grade clusters is to provide additional flexibility for alignment of local curriculum and local comprehensive assessment systems.

Health Grade Expectation Resources (Updated 10/3/07)
In 2007, Vermont’s Health Grade Expectations (GEs) were revised to reflect current research and best practice. It is hoped that these revised Health GEs will enhance the assessment, curriculum, and instruction work of schools and teachers. |
