The Ohio’s Department of Education and Workplace website is easy to navigate. They include multiple ‘how do I’ pages to help both parents and students, STEM education resources, parent resources, and more. Ohio breaks down standards by grade level as well as by subject which I found very helpful. During my research I found that Ohio law does not permit the State Board of Education to adopt Health Education Standards in Ohio. Ohio law does direct schools and districts to include health education and other related topics at various times throughout its K-12 curriculum. To learn more about what Ohio’s Department of Education and Workplace has to offer, please explore the links below in more depth.
Note: While we continually check for current state standards, states often revise and update standards and various resources. Please make sure to double check that the information you are using is up-to-date for your state.
