A. Introduction
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends
school districts implement a Coordinated School Health (CSH) program. Coordinated School
Health (CSH) is a system designed to improve health and academic achievement. A CSH
program is intended to improve students’ health and their capacity to learn through the support of
families, communities and schools working together.

A coordinated approach to school health effectively aligns health and education efforts
and leads to improved physical, mental and developmental outcomes for students. Research
studies over the past decade have consistently concluded that student health status and student
achievement are directly connected and, in fact, that student health is one of the most significant
influences on learning and achievement.
Additionally, a coordinated approach to school health reduces fragmentation, duplication of
services and provides a streamlined system for service delivery that is cost effective.

A Coordinated School Health program provides a system designed to address the needs

of the whole child by effectively connecting health with education. This coordinated approach
provides the framework for families, communities, and schools to work together to improve
students’ health and capacity to learn.
Each component of the coordinated school health approach makes a unique contribution while
complementing the other components, ultimately creating a whole that is greater than the sum of
its parts.

Components of Coordinated School Health Program

1. COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL HEALTH EDUCATION (GRADES K - 12)

A planned, sequential, K-12 curriculum that addresses the physical, mental, emotional,
and social dimensions of health.  The curriculum is designed to motivate and assist students to
maintain and improve their health, prevent disease, and reduce health-related risk behaviors.  It
allows students to develop and demonstrate increasingly sophisticated health-related knowledge,
attitudes, skill, and practices.  The health education curriculum includes a variety of topics such
as personal health, family health, community health consumer health, environmental health,
sexuality education, mental and emotional health, injury prevention and control of disease, and
substance use and abuse.  Qualified, trained teachers provide health education.

2. PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ACTIVITY

A planned, sequential K-12 curriculum that provided cognitive content and learning
experiences in a variety of activity areas such as basic movement skills; physical fitness; rhythms
and dance; and aquatics.  Quality physical education should promote, through a variety of
planned physical activities, each student's optimum physical, mental, emotional, and social
development, and should promote activities and sports that all student enjoy and can pursue
throughout their lives.  Qualified, trained teachers teach physical activity.

3. NUTRITION SERVICES

Access to a variety of nutritious and appealing meals that accommodate the health and
nutrition needs of all students.  School Nutrition programs reflect the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for
Americans and other criteria to achieve nutrition integrity.  The school nutrition services offer
students a learning laboratory  for classroom nutrition and health education, and serve as a
resource for linkages with nutrition-related community services.  Qualified child nutrition
professional provide theses services. 

4. SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES

Services provided for students to appraise, protect, and promote health.  These services
are designed to ensure access or referral to primary health care services for both, foster
appropriate use of primary health care services, prevent and control communicable disease and
other health problems, provide emergency care for illness or injury, promote and provide
educational and counseling opportunities for promoting and maintain individual, family, and
community health.  Qualified professionals such as physicians, nurses, dentists, health educators,
and other allied health personnel provide these services.

5. SCHOOL COUNSELING, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL SERVICES

Services provided to improve student's mental, emotional, and social health.  These
services include individual and group assessment, interventions, and referrals.  Organizational
assessment and consultation skills of counselors and psychologists contribute not only to the
health of students but also to the health of the school environment.  Professionals such as
certified school counselors, psychologists, and social workers provide these services.

6. HEALTHY AND SAFE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS

The physical and aesthetic surroundings and the psychosocial climate and culture of the
school.  Factors that influence the physical environment include the school building and the area
surrounding it, and biological or chemical agents that are detrimental to health, and physical
conditions such as temperature, noise and lighting.  The psychological environment includes the
physical, emotional, and social conditions that affect the well-being of students and staff.
7. STUDENT, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN SCHOOLS

An integrated school, parent, and community approach for enhancing the health and well-
being of students.  School health advisory council, coalitions, and broadly based constituencies
for school health can build support for school health program efforts.  Schools actively solicit
parent involvement and engage community resources and services to respond more effectively to
the health-related needs of students. 

8. HEALTH PROMOTION FOR SCHOOL STAFF

Opportunities for school staff to improve their health status through activities such as
health assessment, health education health-related fitness activities.  These opportunities
encourage school staff to pursue a healthy lifestyle that contributes to their improved health
status, improved moral, and a greater personal commitment to the schools's overall coordinated
health program.  This personal commitment often transfers into greater commitment to the health
of students and creates positive role modeling.  Health Promotion activities have improved
productivity, decreased absenteeism, and reduced health insurance costs.

A Coordinated School Health program can:

a. reduce absenteeism and classroom behavior problems;
b. address risky youth behaviors such as lack of physical activity, poor diet, early sexual
activity, and tobacco use;
c. improve classroom performance;
d. better prepare students to be productive members of their communities;
e. make schools more engaging;
f. establish good life-long healthy practices; and
g. address staff wellness needs.

MISSION OF SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM

 To promote physical and mental health of the students
 To prevent diseases, injury and disability

CORE SCHOOL HEALTH FUNCTION

 ASSESSMENT- refers to the wide variety of methods or tools that educators use to evaluate,
measure, and document the academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition, or
educational needs of students.
 ASSURANCE-  refers to financial coverage that provides remuneration for an event that is
certain to happen. Assurance is similar to insurance, with the terms often used
interchangeably. ... Assurance may also apply to validation services provided by accountants
and other professionals.
  POLICY DEVELOPMENT- pertains to the setting of goals
for health services, developing performance standards, determining priorities for the
allocation of resources, and planning for systems to meet identified health needs. Setting
immunization standards for children is an example of public policy development.

Five Stages:
a. agenda setting
b. policy formulation
c. adoption (or decision making)
d. implementation 
e. evaluation

STEPS TO BUILD SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM

1. Join the School Health Team. All schools that receive support from the USDA are
required to develop wellness policies that address school food service and physical
activity. ...
2. Learn More about Your Child's School Health Status. ...
3. Understand “Competitive Foods” ...
4. Importance of Physical Activity in School.

STEPS TO DEVELOP SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM

1. Describe your vision, focus, objectives, and student needs.

2. Identify resources.
3. Develop experiences that meet your objectives.
4. Collect and devise materials.
5. Lock down the specifics of your task.
6. Develop plans, methods, and processes.
7. Create your students' experience.
8. Go!
Improve the Health of Schools
1. Encourage local school districts to participate in the HUSSC.
2. Encourage all schools to provide a school breakfast program.
3. Support the development of a summer food service program.
4. Encourage participation in school lunch and breakfast programs.
5. Support upgrades or exchanges of school cafeteria equipment.
HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAM 
Aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviors,
and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities.
Defined by the World Health Organization, health promotion: enables people to increase
control over their own health.

Examples of effective school health promotion activities for child and

family health
 Promoting breastfeeding - also known as nursing, is the feeding of babies and young
children with milk from a woman's breast. Older children feed less often. Mothers may
pump milk so that it can be used later when breastfeeding is not possible.

 Promoting child and family nutrition

 SIDS prevention and education
 Injury prevention
 Promoting physical activity
 Smoking cessation programs such as 'quit' activities and 'brief interventions'

How do I create a health promotion program?

STEP 1: MANAGE THE PLANNING PROCESS

STEP 2: CONDUCT A SITUATIONAL ASSESSMENT
STEP 3: IDENTIFY GOALS, POPULATIONS OF INTEREST, OUTCOMES
STEP 4: IDENTIFY STRATEGIES, ACTIVITIES, OUTPUTS, PROCESS
STEP 5: DEVELOP INDICATORS
STEP 6: REVIEW THE PROGRAM PLAN

Three Health Promotion Strategies

(The small circle stands for the three basic strategies for health promotion)
 Enabling- means that someone else will always fix, solve, or make the consequences go
away. When someone is in the throes of an addiction or other grossly dysfunctional
behavior pattern, he or she begins to rely on the resources available.
 Mediating- A mediator variable explains the how or why of an (observed) relationship
between an independent variable and its dependent variable. In a mediation model, the
independent variable cannot influence the dependent variable directly, and
instead does so by means of a third variable, a 'middle-man'.
  Advocacy- is the act of speaking on the behalf of or in support of another person, place,
or thing. An example of an advocacy is a non-profit organization that works to help
women of domestic abuse who feel too afraid to speak for themselves.

The five principles of school health promotion program

1. A broad and positive health concept;
2.  Participation and involvement;
3. Action and action competence;
4. A settings perspective and
5. Equity in health.

A. Read and Understand the different components of coordinated school health education
program and answer the following question.
1. Why do we need to understand and reflect the different component of CSHEP.?
2. In your own point of view how this components affect the implementation of the
program?

D. Abstraction
The course uses a combination of lecture, discussion, and school site visits to help
students apply the fundamental concepts of school health to multiple public health and education
system issues.  Students connect course material to current events through discussion of
newspaper articles.
The goal of this course is to introduce course participants to the pre-K through student
experience with respect to its role in the healthy physical and psychological development of
children and youth.  We use the Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) coordinated
school health model as the organizing structure to examine current policies, research, and
interventions to promote health and prevent disease in the school setting.
