Promoting academic achievement of all students requires safe and drug-free schools and healthy, resilient youth. The California Department of Education provides several planning and assessment resources to help meet these goals: |
 | California Health Education Content Standards: Provides information and links to the standards adopted by the State Board of Education in March 2008. |
 | California Health Framework (PDF file) |
 | California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS): A comprehensive youth health, risk and resiliency survey sponsored by the California Department of Education and available to local education agencies. Core modules assess alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, school violence correlates, physical activity and nutrition. Supplementary and custom modules can be added to assess resilience and youth development, alcohol, tobacco and other drug use-related problems, suicide ideation and attempts, sexual behavior and physical health. A variety of Research Reports based on the CHKS data are also available online.
