Using the HECAT to Assess Your Health Education Curriculum
The Health Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (HECAT), was developed by the CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), in partnership with health education experts across the country. The HECAT allows educators to evaluate their curricula based on research that supports positive health behaviors among students by answering the following questions.
- Is it enhancing students’ health behaviors?
- Are the elements of effective health education practices incorporated?
- How is it aligned with the National & South Dakota Health Education Standards?
- Are strategies included that assess both concepts and skills?
- Is the content accurate and current? What and where are the gaps?
- Are there opportunities for students to practice essential health skills?
- Does it promote positive health behaviors and norms?
