Healthy and Balanced Living Curriculum Framework - Comprehensive School Health Education 2006
"There is substantial evidence that poor health affects educational outcomes, behaviors and attitudes, and that the attainment of educational goals is dependent on the achievement of good health. The Framework provides the blueprint for districts to address the health and energy balance of students and guide them toward becoming well-informed, health literate individuals, as well as competent, confident and joyful movers." -Derived from the Healthy and Balanced Living Curriculum Framework p. 3
