Delaware K–6 health standards

Delaware writes its own health standards. They are published as Delaware Health Education Learning Outcomes, adopted 2008 and are not a version of a national framework. Every one is matched to a national standard.

95 K-6 rows extracted from the DE Health Education Learning Outcomes. NOTATION, declared: codes are grade-qualified (`K-2.1.1`, `3-5.1.1`, `6-8.1.1`). The `1.1` suffix is Delaware's own code verbatim and the leading token is Delaware's own grade-cluster label, but composing them into a single identifier is OURS — Delaware's numbering is unique only within a cluster section and it reissues each code in every cluster with different text, so the bare code would collapse the subject under importKey exactly as it did for California. PROVENANCE: DDOE's live URL for the source document now soft-404s to the current CMS (HTTP 200, ~1.3MB of site HTML), so the extractor reads the Internet Archive's snapshot of DDOE's own file (timestamp 20121120025455). That is the agency's own document, not a third-party restatement.
