Abstract
The release of the 2024 SHAPE America National Health Education Standards provides an updated take on the learning standards used to teach students how to become healthy and well. In this revision, the standards emphasize both individual and collective health and well-being; greater inclusion of strengths, assets, and opportunities to practice and work toward health and well-being of self and others; and a deeper understanding of how social and structural factors impact the health and well-being of individuals and communities. Based in theory and evidence, the revised standards provide foundational guidance for educators in the field and others seeking to improve the health and well-being of young people. This article introduces readers to the updated standards and highlights some key principles that guide their use.
