9. Whole Child NC
Established 9/3/2015 as an advisory committee to the State Board of Education. Identifies and reviews the challenges of at-risk school-aged population such as poverty, safety, health and other non- academic barriers. Makes recommendations to the State Board of Education, other state agencies and education stakeholder groups as to how best to facilitate access for all public school children to receive the opportunity for a sound basic education.

10. 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.

27. 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.

28. Healthy Active Children Policy
Section 1: Local School Health Advisory Council (SHAC)
Section 2: Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) Model
Section 3: Local Wellness Policy
Section 4: Physical Education and
Healthful Living
Section 5: Physical Activity and Recess
Section 6: Nutrition Services, Education and Promotion
Section 7: Policy Monitoring
The Healthy Active Children Policy (SHLT-000) was updated at the December 1, 2016 State Board of Education meeting. The policy was updated to reflect the change from the Coordinated School Health model to the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model. These changes include a move from 8 components to ten components of coordinated school health that require representation on local School Health Advisory Councils (SHACs). The two additional components came from separating the former Family/Community Involvement component into Family Engagement and Community Involvement components and separating the former Healthy School Environment component into Social & Emotional Climate and Physical Environment components. Physical Activity was also added to the Physical Education component and Nutrition Services was renamed Nutrition Environment & Services.
Under the Policy Monitoring Section, LEAs are required to “maintain a current Local Wellness Policy and the most recent assessment of progress with implementation of the policy and submit as requested to NCDPI”. Also, the requirement for LEAs to submit their annual Healthy Active Children Policy survey report by September 15th of each year was updated to also require LEAs to submit their corresponding Superintendent Attestation Form. (21 LEAs did not submit their Superintendent Attestation Form for their 2016 HAC report.)

56. Helpful Tips and Best Practices
Meeting Facilitation
Helpful Tips and Best Practices

57. Set Regular Meetings Set dates at the beginning of the year
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 give a report

58. Facilitation Best Practices
Start on time
End on time
If you want people to come back
People need to know how much time to schedule
Do not come late or leave early, just to report
Report time is different than discussion time
Hold the entire team to this

59. Facilitation Best Practices
Manageable size
Use subcommittees
Table name tents for speaking
Stick to an agenda
Don’t monopolize the conversation
Talk your share and remember some folks don’t feel comfortable fighting for air time
