1. COORDINATED SCHOOL HEALTH MR. HAYDEN T. CRAIG

2. THE 411 -Introduced in the 1980s by Kolbe and Allensworth. -Promotes optimal physical, emotional, social, and educational development of students.

3. CONTINUED… -Has 8 components: Health education Physical education Health services Nutrition services Counseling, psychological, and social services Staff health promotion Family and community involvement Healthy environment

4. ADVOCACY - In my eyes, health should be implemented into all classrooms because a healthy student is an effective student. Students who experience hunger, physical/emotional abuse and inactivity are linked to low grades and poor test scores. (Carlson) Schools are critical in playing a role in the health of a student, folding 50 hours of coordinated school health into our curriculum will greatly impact our students academic careers.

6. AN EFFECTIVE CURRICULUM SHOULD… -Teaching functional health information (essential knowledge) -Shaping personal values and beliefs that support healthy behaviors -Shaping group norms that value a healthy lifestyle -Developing the essential health skills necessary to adopt, practice, and maintain health-enhancing behaviors. -HEALTHY STUDENT = SUCCESSFUL STUDENT

7. ALSO… -For most students, they will be in school for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week from ages 5-18. During this time students will be developing intellectually, emotionally and physically. -Coordinated School Health can be the building blocks of a student’s academic career. If we do a better job of teaching and preparing them to be healthier we see immediate results.

11. CONCLUSION -CSH can have a HUGE impact on the lives of our students. The last three slides depicted the influence that teaching healthy habits can have on a students grades.
