This is a comprehensive, sequential health and physical education program that emphasizes the natural interdisciplinary connection among wellness, health and physical education. Curriculum in Health and Physical Education is a balanced approach to education which aligns itself with New Jersey Student Learning Standards set forth by the New Jersey Department of Education.

During the driver's education portion, students learn driver's education basics, have opportunity to take the written portion of the New Jersey Driver's Test, and receive behind the wheel instruction.

Intent and Spirit of the Comprehensive Health and Physical Education Standards

All students participate in a comprehensive, sequential, health and physical education program that emphasizes the natural interdisciplinary connection between wellness and health and physical education. The standards provide a blueprint for curriculum development, instruction, and assessment that reflects the latest research-based platform for effective health and physical education programs. The primary focus of the standards is on the development of knowledge and skills that influence healthy behaviors within the context of self, family, school, and the local and global community. The 2014 revised standards incorporate the current thinking and best practices found in health and physical education documents published by national content-specific organizations as well as public health and other education organizations and agencies. Revisions to the standards include cumulative progress indicators that reflect:

o Recently enacted legislation o An emphasis on health literacy, a 21st century theme o Global perspectives about health and wellness through comparative analysis of health-

related issues, attitudes, and behaviors in other countries o Inclusion of additional skills related to traffic safety, fire safety, and accident and poison

prevention o Increased awareness of and sensitivity to the challenges related to individuals with

disabilities

Comprehensive Health and Physical Education in the 21st Century

Health literacy is an integral component of 21st century education. Healthy students are learners who are "knowledgeable, productive, and also emotionally and physically healthy, motivated, civically engaged, prepared for work and economic self-sufficiency, and ready for the world beyond their own borders" (ASCD, 2004). As part of the state's initiative to prepare students to function optimally as global citizens and workers, the contemporary view of health and physical education focuses on taking personal responsibility for one's health through an active, healthy lifestyle that fosters a lifelong commitment to wellness. The mission and vision for comprehensive health and physical education reflects this perspective: Mission: Knowledge of health and physical education concepts and skills empowers students to assume lifelong responsibility to develop physical, social, and emotional wellness.
