Why Healthy Schools?Why Healthy Schools?A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
Literacy is a social determinant of Health. Students who are unhealthy are less likely to be performing well academically.
Recent EQAO data for schools using the Healthy Schools’ framework indicates that after 2 years mean results for Grade 3 improved 36.7% whereas Comparison Schools increased 0.78 %.
Students will have the most successful outcome when as many conditions for learning are in place as possible.
What are Healthy Schools?What are Healthy Schools?
Healthy Schools:
Include a broad spectrum of opportunities for students to participate in, observe and learn positive health attitudes and behaviours
Provide a connected framework for strategies that support the School Plan for Continuous Improvement
What Are Healthy Schools?What Are Healthy Schools?
High-quality instruction and programs Age-appropriate, up-to-date curriculum instruction about health topics and issues; promotes development of life skills, sense of personal competency, resilience
Healthy physical environmentClean & adequate facilities, safety, healthy choices
Supportive social environment Peer support, positive role models & school climate; promote empowerment, social competencies
Community partnershipsAccess to resources and services available to support students, staff and families
Activities within all four components are needed to create sustained behaviour changes and best possible outcomes
Future Directions for Funding Allocation
1. Given the opportunity to have a Professional Development forum with a focus on the Healthy Schools Approach, list what you’d like to see, hear and feel on that day.
2. Based on what you’d like to see, hear and feel on the P.D. Healthy Schools Approach Day, design an appropriate schedule for the day.
Conclusion
The Healthy Schools approach responds to what research tells about the conditions necessary to promote the development of the whole child. In the York Region District School Board, we know our students will have the best outcome when as many conditions for learning are in place as possible.
