The curriculum fundamentals analysis should be completed by those who understand curriculum design, instruction, assessment, and health education content. Such persons might include health education coordinators, teachers, curriculum specialists, school principals, assessment specialists, and others who work with young people.

A curriculum should be considered a comprehensive health education curriculum if it:

• Focuses on numerous and diverse health topics and issues.
• Assimilates a wide range of knowledge and skill expectations across multiple topics and grades.
• Incorporates uniform instructional methodology and assessment strategies across topics and grades.
• Intentionally designs lessons to build on previously learned concepts and skills.
• Builds a foundation for learning new concepts and skills within and across grade groups.
