Healthy Schools Summit

May 29, 2008 - May 20, 2008

University of Puget Sound - Tacoma, WA
8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Join us to learn how healthy schools can boost academic performance and close the achievement gap. Sessions will focus on the skills, strategies and tools needed to make your school a healthier place. The Keynote for the day is Dr. Diane Allensworth, PhD, RN. In 1987, Dr. Diane Allensworth and Dr. Lloyd Kolbe developed an eight-component model for a coordinated school health program. The guiding principle of the coordinated school health program is that health agencies, community institutions, families, and schools and communities work in partnership to create a seamless web of education and services that lowers the barriers to learning experienced by many children today. Dr. Allensworth is employed by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Division of Adolescent and School Health. She focuses on the relationship between health and educational disparities, working with schools to serve the whole child to reduce both. Small group sessions following the keynote will be led by professionals who have successfully created coordinated school health programs and have seen positive academic outcomes as a result. The conference will be tailored to meet the needs of individuals with a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
