Bring these to the superintendent at the district level and the principal of the school for support. The CDC suggests that administrators can provide support for a school health approach by: incorporating health in the district’s or school’s vision and mission statements, including health goals in the school’s improvement plan, appointing someone to oversee school health, allocating resources, modeling healthy behaviors, and regularly communicating the importance of wellness to students, staff, and parents. ]]> 2022-07-04 14:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/olivialogan7/5ptm26hclt9ir887/wish/2236530407 olivialogan7 https://padlet.com/olivialogan7/5ptm26hclt9ir887/wish/2236537159 Establishing a school health team can be completed by convening a school health advisory committee and school health coordinators to oversee a school health program and policies. This committee would include at least one representative from each of the 10 WSCC components. This team would also include an administrator, school health leaders, teachers, parents, and students. All members should understand the goal of a WSCC health program.

A school health coordinator can be full-time or part-time. Data should be collected before implementing a program, so that a school knows what needs to be addressed. School health coordinators oversee all 10 components of the school health program. A school health coordinator can be a school health educator, administrator, physical educator, school nurse, food service coordinator, or community consultant.

Assessments from community assets will also help to identify the needs that should be addressed within the plan. After assessments are conducted, implementation of the plan should be put into place. Actions that can be taken to continue improvement of a school's health plan include: completing the overall scorecard, completing the school health improvement plan, implementing recommendations, and reassessing annually to strive for continuous improvement.

Multiple school health components should be addressed in order to implement multiple strategies. Strategies pursued by a school or district should be based on assessments that they have previously conducted. ]]> 2022-07-04 15:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/olivialogan7/5ptm26hclt9ir887/wish/2236567759 olivialogan7 https://padlet.com/olivialogan7/5ptm26hclt9ir887/wish/2236573361 The focus of a health program can be placed on the students by providing opportunities for the students to be involved in the school and the community. Policies should allow for student development by providing leadership exercises, skill building, the opportunity to build positive relationships with adults, and the opportunity to contribute to their school and community. Student involvement can also be through peer education, peer advocacy, or mentoring programs.

There are six categories according to the CDC of priority health-risk behaviors. These behaviors include: behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and STDs, including HIV infection, unhealthy eating, and physical inactivity. Priorities and monitoring programs can be out into place to reduce these risks. ]]> 2022-07-04 16:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/olivialogan7/5ptm26hclt9ir887/wish/2236582116 olivialogan7 https://padlet.com/olivialogan7/5ptm26hclt9ir887/wish/2236584346 Professional development provides opportunities for school employees to identify areas of improvement, learn about new practices, solve problems, develop skills, and practice new strategies. According to the CDC, profession development should focus on development of different skills such as leadership, communication, and collaboration. Professional development should be provided for school staff and community partners. ]]> 2022-07-04 16:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/olivialogan7/5ptm26hclt9ir887/wish/2236584346
