CDC Healthy Schools works with states, school systems, communities, and national partners to prevent chronic disease and promote the health and well-being of children and adolescents in schools. The Whole School Whole Community Whole Child (WSCC) model is our framework for addressing health in schools. The WSCC model is student-centered and emphasizes the role of the community in supporting the school and the importance of evidence-based policies and practices.

Partnering with key leaders from the health and education fields, CDC Healthy Schools promotes:

We do this by:

Funding state education agencies by providing them with technical assistance, specialized tools, recommendations, and resources to help in the work they do for school health.

Working with nongovernmental organizations to complement and strengthen the work of the state grantees in our school health priority areas.

Providing resources and training for school administrators and staff to help ensure students are healthy and ready to learn.

Providing information and resources to help parents become involved in their child's school, advocate for their child, and help shape a healthy school environment.

Collecting data in our surveillance systems to inform decision making and evidence-based strategies.

CDC Healthy Schools is committed to the goal of creating healthier schools where students are safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. For more information on our work, see the CDC Healthy Schools Fact Sheet.

Expand horizons and
inclusivity through current events

When students can engage in meaningful conversation with their peers and families about world events, the immediate result is a positive sense of belonging. But the issue-based learning in each weekly edition of News2you also comes with many long-term benefits: the standards‑aligned articles and activities help students build life skills, become more motivated learners and even discover career options.

Access to a world beyond the classroom

As they experience new ideas through the content in News2you, students not only build comprehension and context relative to their community and world, they also develop new critical‑thinking and communication skills‑forming and expressing opinions about what they're learning. They're preparing to become productive citizens in life beyond the classroom.

Improved language and literacy skills

Research confirms that students who have access to newspapers in the classroom perform better on standardized reading tests. And for students with unique learning needs, the benefits of interacting with the informational text in each weekly edition are especially far reaching- expanding skills in reading, vocabulary, writing, digital literacy and more!

I love News2you! I've been using it for nearly 20 years and have seen tremendous growth in my students. One of my favorite stories is about a little guy we had a while back, who had some significant disabilities, and after reading News2you, he returned to school and said, "˜Miss, I saw this on the news with my dad, and we talked about it.' I thought, how wonderful, what a great communication opportunity for their family.
