The six‐phase proposed model of a health education curriculum guide involves (1) organizing, the establishment of a dual committee structure, (2) direction setting, identifying change needs after considering both present and preferred situations, (3) drafting the curriculum guide, writing goals and objectives, outlining scope and sequence, and identifying proposed activities and evaluation methodology, (4) interpreting, presenting the draft to administrators, teachers, the general public, and the school board, (5) implementing, establishing a timetable and removing obstacles which may prevent effective use of the curriculum, and (6) evaluating, collecting and interpreting data in order to improve the curriculum guide. The information is presented for use by the novice to the curriculum development process. The goal of the article is to provide an overall concept of the task of writing a curriculum guide.
