For this assignment you will respond to questions regarding school health programs. Please answer these questions: 1) Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of school-based health programs. Be sure to distinguish the difference between a basic, expanded and comprehensive school health program. 2) List the 8 components of coordinated school health programs. How are they interconnected and why are they important? The 8 components are: a) Comprehensive School Health Education School staff-teachers, nurses, administrators, or counselors-can work together to develop an ongoing approach to help students build health-related knowledge and skills from kindergarten through 12th grade. Comprehensive school health education addresses the physical, social, and emotional dimensions of health, and refers to the teaching of a range of developmentally and sequentially appropriate health topics at each grade level. b) School Environment To learn effectively, children must be in a school environment where they feel comfortable and supported. The school offers a positive physical, emotional, and social climate that provides a safe physical environment, and a safe, supportive environment that fosters learning. Parents and other adults working with children have high expectations about learning and provide students with the support they need. c) School Health Services Growing children require a regularly scheduled health "maintenance" program, including immunizations, dental checkups, physicals, eye exams, other types of screenings and, in certain instances, daily medication. With the help of health professionals, schools can encourage preventive services to enable students to take proactive measures to stay healthy and get more out of school. d) School Meals and Nutrition Many students eat one or two meals a day at school. Thus, schools have a unique opportunity to offer more nutritious food, as well as reinforce classroom instruction on nutrition and diet, thereby encouraging students to make healthful eating and good nutrition a priority for life. e) Counseling, Psychological, and Mental Health Services Today, many students have the added stress of coping with emotional challenges stemming from problems such as parental divorce, alcoholism, abuse, and drug addiction. By offering counseling and instruction to students, as well as referrals to mental health professionals, schools can help parents take a big step toward making an even greater difference in a student's overall performance. f) Physical Education Schools can and should encourage students to lead a physically active lifestyle both in and out of school. One way to start is to emphasize the importance of regular exercise as a lifelong activity. g) Health Promotion for Staff Students aren't the only ones who need to stay in good health. Educators and school staff are important role models for students. When schools help staff maintain and improve their health, they can expect decreases in employee absenteeism and increased morale. 8. Family/Community Involvement One of the major benefits of CSH is that it can foster a closer working relationship between parents and schools. Working with parents, businesses, local health officials, and other community groups, schools can form powerful coalitions to address the health needs of students. 3) Define the roles of Education and Public Health Departments. Should Public health departments provide primary medical care? How "bright" is the line between public health and personal health within the context of public-school district? Do they or should they overlap? 4) Discuss the new directions of school-based health care services and the key programmatic characteristics of school-based health care services. 5) Generally, discuss how the Healthy People 2020 goal to "Increase the quality, availability, and effectiveness of educational and community-based programs designed to prevent disease and improve health and quality of life" impacts the role of education and public health departments to work with the schools
