How to Meet MI Health Education Standards

Michigan’s Health Education Content Standards, which encompass learning in K-8 and high school, align with the National Health Education Standards (NHES) to ensure that students receive a relevant health education that supports them to successfully maintain a healthy lifestyle during school and beyond.

Wayfinder supports health-related skill building with content on creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration for wellness in school, career, and life. Topic-based Collections, made up of Core Lessons and related activities, enable additional in-depth development of specific NHES sub-skills.

Wayfinder is also aligned to CASEL, CCTE, P21, and ASCA frameworks, plus math and ELA CCSS. We offer consults + flexible options to align directly to your school or district’s Portrait of a Graduate.

In head-to-head competitions nationwide, schools choose Wayfinder 4 out of 5 times. Our research-backed activities + lessons comply with FERPA, COPPA, and PPRA, which is why Wayfinder is already the top choice among districts in Michigan.
