Formal health education occurs in the classroom, is guided by a well-designed lesson plan, and is aligned with the National Health Education Standards. Formal health education needs to be well thought out and planned in advance to achieve success. Health education is part of a coordinated school health program, and the school nurse plays an essential role in teaching students health knowledge and skills that will allow them to lead a healthy lifestyle.
