Curriculum and Instruction
The 2006 Mississippi Comprehensive Health Education Framework is a planned, sequential, K-12 Framework that addresses the physical, mental, emotional and social dimensions of health. The framework is designed to motivate and assist students to maintain and improve their health, prevent disease, and reduce health-related risk behaviors. It allows students to develop and demonstrate increasingly sophisticated health-related knowledge, attitudes, skills, and practices. The framework includes a variety of topics such as personal health, family health, community health, consumer health, environmental health, sexuality education, mental and emotional health, injury prevention and safety, nutrition, prevention and control of disease, and substance use and abuse.
