Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Resolution On November 3, 2016, the North Carolina State Board of Education adopted a resolution establishing a Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Framework for the State Board of Education. This resolved that the NC SBE adopts the WSCC model as a framework for supporting the health behaviors and academic performance of students; and the NC SBE encourages LEAs to use the WSCC model as a framework for creating collaborative school/community relationships and improving students’ learning and health; and renamed the Interagency Committee, whose work it is to identify wrap-around services needed by public school students and to ensure coordination and collaboration of these services from State agencies and related external partners, to be known as the NC SBE Whole Child NC Committee.

Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child In the Healthy Schools section at the Department of Public Instruction, we use the Whole School, Whole Community Whole Child model as the basis of our work. This coordinated school health model places the health of students in the context of the whole school and whole community and recognizes that much of what affects the health and academic performance of children results from factors such as access or lack of access to resources, which is a byproduct of poverty.

Health Data Collection HAC Progress Report Youth Risk Behavior Survey School Health Profiles School Health Services Report NC Teacher Working Conditions Finally the work of Healthy schools is informed by data collected from two sources. YRBS data is collected on odd number years from randomly selected schools and students. Profiles data is collected on even number years from randomly selected principals and lead health education teacher.
Les – we can take them to a populated assessment tool, but with the district removed. I figured you could walk them through some examples, like the following

Action Planning Goals are SMART Outcomes are well defined Deadlines are set Responsibility is assigned Defines the process and removes personalities And team is held accountable
Steps to Action Planning Form a Team This can be reassessed at anytime Create Plan This should be updated along the way Form the Perfect Team Set Regular Meetings Celebrate Success Begin Again
Form a Team Diverse Include all stakeholders, even the difficult ones People that may be potential barriers People that have access to needed resources Relationships Money Already working in this area People impacted by decisions Right Size Too big is often too hard Consider using a subcommittee structure (personal favorite)
Create a Plan Vision Goals Objectives Outcomes (identify tasks, activities, strategies) Capture on Action Plan template
Goals – Make them SMART How We Fulfill the Vision S – specific, significant, stretching M – measurable, meaningful, motivational A – agreed upon, attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented R - realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented T - time-based, time-bound, timely, tangible, trackable
Objectives Only choose 2 -4 per goal Make them very specific Too many can distract great work Make them very specific Really think about what needs to be done to accomplish the goal
Identify Tasks, Activities, or Strategies to Achieve Objective Keep these outcome focused People own outcomes, not tasks Empower vs micromanage Embrace diversity Allow for things to be done differently Creativity blossoms Unseen ”issues” become clearer Are kids still hungry, overweight/obese, homeless, in need of services – then let folks do things differently.
Form the Perfect Team Based on your plan and what you want to accomplish… Who else needs to be at the table Who is missing? Subcommittees needed?
Set Regular Meetings Give team time to process the work Set meetings all, NOW Example: Second Tuesday at noon and everyone bring a lunch Meet virtually if helpful DO NOT cancel Canceling or rescheduling sends the message that these meetings are negotiable Everyone should be asked to have a report
Celebrate Success Action planning helps you know when you reach success Share it Plan a team reward Hold on to it
Begin Again Go back to the beginning That means… Form a Team This may change A lot of teams forget to reassess the team/themselves Create a Plan Form the Perfect Team Set Regular Meetings Celebrate Success Begin Again

“It is time to truly align the sectors and place the child at the center. Both public health and education serve the same students, often in the same settings. We must do more to work together and collaborate.” -Wayne H. Giles, Director, Division of Population Health, CDC, 2014
