The
Colorado Legacy Foundation, in partnership with the Colorado Department of
Education and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, was
recently awarded a 5-year grant from Kaiser Permanente to create the
infrastructure to measure, track and better understand the health-related
policies and practices being implemented in Colorado schools and districts. This effort complements the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, which is a coordinated approach to collect student health data.
This system
aims to reduce the burden on schools that are asked to participate in multiple
data collection efforts related to health and wellness by better streamlining
the data collection process and making the data available in a central
location. At the same time, this system will be a useful resource for schools
and districts to collect their own information in regard to school health
efforts to celebrate successes, identify student needs, set priorities and
leverage resources in a meaningful manner.
Purpose of
event:
- To provide background information about a new effort to collect better information about what schools are doing to support health and wellness.
- To obtain feedback about health categories, adequate number of indicators, barriers and opportunities for participation.
- To identify possible schools and districts willing to participate in a pilot project in 2014.
Additional
Details:
Travel and
substitute reimbursement available. A light
breakfast and lunch will be provided. Breakfast will be available starting at
8:30 with the actual session starting at 9:00 a.m.
