Healthy Schools Leadership Institute Developing Leaders for Healthy Schools

Statewide Center for Healthy Schools Priorities Overview Statewide Center for Healthy Schools Priorities Provide, support, and foster leadership for school health programs Support and enhance health education efforts in schools Develop community support for school health programs

Overview Rationale National studies and reports document the need for coordination of school health programs (CSHP) Leadership from schools and communities is paramount for successful implementation of coordinated school health programs School health programs require the leadership of professionally prepared coordinators for a program to be stable, extensive and have relevance and meaning for students Leadership is required to link school health programs with student learning and school reform

The Need Kids can’t learn if they are: Many of today’s problems with students are actually health related. Kids can’t learn if they are: Hungry Tired Hung over from alcohol and drugs Worried about violence

The Solution CSH is about Involving parents Keeping kids healthy over time Supporting a student’s capacity to learn Imparting skills, knowledge and judgment to help kids make smart choices for life Reinforcing positive behaviors throughout the school day Making it clear that good health and learning go hand in hand

The Solution CSH is also about Helping young people grow into healthy, productive adults Focusing on the physical and emotional well-being of kids K-12 Coordinating parents, schools, administrators, and communities as key partners

Coordinated School Health: The Opportunity Every school day, 46 Million students attend more than 100,000 schools That’s big! That’s where the kids are! Parents, schools and communities can make positive contributions to the health and education of our nation

“Growing numbers of children come to school with health-related problems and engage in negative health behaviors that sap their motivation to learn, endanger their health, and threaten their future.” The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) http://www.ccsso.org/ Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) http://www.astho.org/

“Schools have more influence on the lives of youth than any other social institution except the family, and provide a setting in which friendship networks develop, socialization occurs and norms that govern behavior are developed and reinforced.” Healthy People 2010 http://web.health.gov/healthypeople/

Benefits of a Coordinated Approach to School Health People in different parts of the country report that the benefits of a coordinated approach include: Reduced school absenteeism Fewer behavior problems in the classroom Improved student performance

Benefits of a Coordinated Approach to School Health Brings everyone together: Provides a forum for greater parental and/or community involvement Provides and opportunity for the school and other agencies to collaborate Brings staff together within the school Provides a program in which students in all areas can participate Doner & Schwartz (1998)
