Book excerpt: The Sequoia Healthcare District (SHD), in collaboration with four local school districts--Belmont-Redwood Shores School District (BRSSD), Redwood City School District (RCSD), San Carlos School District (SCSD), and Sequoia Union High School District (SUHSD)--launched the Healthy Schools Initiative (HSI) in August 2010. This three-year initiative is focused on enhancing health and wellness programs and activities in local schools and is based on the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) Coordinated School Health (CSH) model (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). This report begins with a brief overview of the research literature on school support of student health in general and the CDC's coordinated school health model specifically. The authors then present the methodology of their implementation study of the Healthy Schools Initiative, followed by a series of research findings. They conclude with study participants' perspectives on challenges and opportunities for integrating health and wellness into schools and a set of considerations to inform future work. The main findings from the study include: (1) Nearly 100% of study participants valued health and wellness in schools; (2) Few study participants were familiar with the Healthy Schools Initiative, but those who knew about it believed that the initiative positively influenced awareness of wellness in their schools; (3) Coordination of health and wellness programs and activities was happening in all study schools; where wellness coordinators were also involved, coordination was described as more strategic and intentional; (4) Effective and purposeful coordination was associated with increased integration of health and wellness programs within and across schools and districts, reaching more students equitably and leveraging resources; and (5) Teachers and other school staff committed to student wellness played an important role in increasing student access to health and wellness information, programs, activities, and resources. The following are appended: (1) Sequoia Healthcare District--Healthy Schools Initiative Logic Model; (2) Visual Representation of the CDC's Coordinated School Health Model; (3) Study School Demographic Data, 2010-2011; and (4) Data Collection Matrix.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each school day, 55 million children and 7 million adults--that's 20% of the total U.S. population and 98% of all children--spend their workdays inside school buildings. Unfortunately, too many of the nation's 125,000 public and private K-12 schools are "unhealthy" buildings that can harm their health and hinder learning. Today, clear and convincing research shows that improving specific factors such as school indoor environmental quality improves attendance, academic performance, and productivity. This paper presents a list of recommendations offered by the Coalition for Healthier Schools to promote child and adult health, improve education, and create healthier communities.

Book excerpt: HEALTHY MINDS, HEALTHY SCHOOLS is a universal, curriculum-based program for elementary school children aimed at improving children’s social, emotional, behavioural, and academic functioning.Dr. Tina C. Montreuil and Micah A. Tilley’s unique program integrates components of emotion regulation, mindfulness, and metacognition, providing children with practical strategies they can use in everyday life. Comprised of 16 lessons, Healthy Minds, Healthy Schools provides students at the elementary level with practical, everyday strategies to combat stress, anxiety, and depression, and demonstrates the universal need for policy-oriented approaches to school-based mental health. A number of components are integrated throughout, including emotional regulation and expression; mindfulness and metacognition; the link between thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations; acceptance and selfcompassion; goal-directed behaviours; problem solving; and conflict resolution. With guided instructions, personal reflection sections, and group activity exercises, this essential resource equips children with tools to develop improved attention, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility, strengthen their social skills, and enhance their academic performance. This highly colourful and graphically appealing book includes both strategies and activities adapted for children in elementary school. It is an invaluable resource, offering teachers, educators, and other specialists, such as psychologists, counsellors, and social workers, supportive material to teach these valuable social–emotional skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of children and adults across the nation spend their days in school buildings, and they need safe, healthy environments to thrive, learn, and succeed. This book explores the school environment using the methods and perspectives of environmental health science. Though environmental healht has long been understood to be an important factor in workplaces, homes, and communities, this is the first book to address the same basic concerns in schools. The editors are physicians and educators trained in pediatrics, occupational and environmental medicine, and medical toxicology, and the authors are experts in their fields drawn from across the United States and abroad. Each section of the book addresses a different concern facing schools today. In the first six sections, the various aspects of the school environment are examined. Chapters include the physical environment of the school, air quality issues, pest control, cleaning methods, food safety, safe designs of playgrounds and sports fields, crime and violence prevention, and transportation. In the last two sections, recommendations are made for school administrators on how to maximize the health of their schools. Appropriately evaluating the school environment, implementing strategies to address children and adults with disabilities, emphasizing health services, infectious disease prevention and recognition, and occupational health for faculty and staff are all addressed. The entire book is evidence-based, readable, generously illustrated, and practical. An indispensable resource for parents, school staff, administrators, government officials, and health professionals, this book is for anyone who cares about the health of our schools.

Book excerpt: The Healthy Schools Program provides technical assistance to help schools engage administrators, teachers, parents and vendors in increasing access to physical activity and healthier foods for students and staff. Current grants run to September 2013. The program addresses two policy priorities of the Childhood Obesity team: (1) Ensure that all foods and beverages served and sold in schools meet or exceed the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans; (2) Increase the time, intensity and duration of physical activity during the school day and during out-of-school programs. The Healthy Schools Program is not a classroom curriculum or a prescription for gym activities. Instead, the program is trying to make kids healthier by improving their schools' policies and practices--everything from what's served in the cafeteria to how long recess lasts. Significant results of the program include: (1) Of 1,313 schools that enrolled prior to September 2009 and completed a follow-up wellness assessment, three-quarters made at least one improvement in one of the eight targeted areas; (2) At the program's June 2010 recognition ceremony, 179 schools earned awards--148 bronze, 30 silver and one gold. While that is only a fraction of the participating schools, the achievement was still an increase of more than 50 percent over the number of schools recognized in the previous year; (3) The gold recognition award--the first for any school--went to Memorial High School in West New York, N.J. Gold requires satisfaction of most of the criteria. Platinum takes basically 100 percent compliance. A bibliography is included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widespread obesity, poor nutrition, sleep-deprivation, and highly digital and sedentary lifestyles are just a few of the many challenges facing young people. Although public schools in the United States have the potential for meeting these challenges on a mass scale, they are slow to respond. The emphasis on discrete subject areas and standardized test performance offers little in the way of authentic learning and may in reality impede health. Healthy Teens, Healthy Schools: How Media Literacy Education can Renew Education in the United States reframes health education as a complex terrain that resides within a larger ecosystem of historical, social, political, and global economic forces. It calls for a media literate pedagogy that empowers students to be critical consumers, creative producers, and responsible citizens. This book illustrates holistic health education through school-community initiatives and innovative partnerships that are successful in magnifying all curriculum subjects and their associated teaching practices. Vanessa Domine offers teachers, teacher educators, school administrators, community organizers, public health professionals, and policy makers with a transmedia and transdisciplinary educational approach to adolescent health to demonstrate how our collective focus on cultivating healthy teens will ultimately yield healthy schools.

Book excerpt: Creating conditions for better teaching and learning to occur has become an important responsibility for today’s school leaders. Principals must attend to building and sustaining healthy school cultures. The authors take the reader on a journey through several different situations that occur at the elementary, middle and high school levels and focus on a different and challenging aspect of educational leadership every time. The reader can read and analyze different scenarios and decide whether or not the outcome was the best for all stakeholders involved. Not only do all of the vignettes offer beneficial advice to educational leaders of all levels and experience, but they also provide research that demonstrates how and why each educational leader does what he or she does in each situation and how those choices affect everyone involved. We believe that these vignettes support the most important quality of school leadership: “Promoting the success of every student by advocating, nurturing, and sustaining a school culture and instructional program conducive to student learning and staff professional growth” (ISLLC Standard 2.0, 2008).
