What Do Schools Want to Know? How to keep kids in school How to perform well on statewide tests How to engage families in school-connected activities How to do non-academic tasks quicker and easier What do some school staff want to know?

Lost in Translation: In Search of a Common Language Education Nutrition researchers Keep kids in school School gardens, cooking classes, school menu planning Engage families Head Start & parent nutrition classes (mandatory participation for parents) Help with required activities/tasks -- quicker & easier School Wellness Policies and Programs

Assessing the Climate for Prevention Programs at School What is the level of pressure to improve student achievement? Is the administrative staff supportive of implementing prevention programs? Are a majority of teachers supportive of implementing prevention programs? Is there student free time to allow prevention programs to be conducted during school hours? Is the physical environment of the school conducive to health promotion activities? Source: Eisen M, Palletto C, Bradner C.
