  1. Key Concepts in Health PromotingSchools Communities Facilitated by: Steve Manske, EdD, Rebecca Bassett Gunter, PhD Workshop with: Shaping the Future Conference, Kananaskis, ABJanuary, 2012

  2. Purpose of This Session • Health promoting schools do so by supporting individual wellness thus leading to improved learning outcomes. How can we enhance? • This session will engage participants to identify pitfalls and strengths around how we talk about promoting healthy school communities • Participants will offer input to enhance impact of a communication tool (“concept paper”).

  3. Reason for the Session • Priority raised at National Roundtable, 2010 • Two national bodies (each with provincial / territorial members) who focus on the topic • Task 1: Headline • Write down the headline or lead-in sentence that describes your ultimate success • Share with two others who bring a different perspective (health or education; practice or policy or research) • Post results

  4. Debrief • Share examples with the group • Grouping of headlines • Process vs. outcome oriented • Terminology used for key concepts • Components suggested by headlines • Learnings?

  5. Do we need consensus? • Language and jargon can complicate not facilitate • Problems with communication and comprehension lead to reduced communication and collaboration • Need to increase collaboration since we need to move the system toward a common goal • Various terms/frameworks etc., complicate evaluation • Reduces duplicate efforts in a time of limited resources • Ensure sensitivity to each others’ terminology

  6. Task 2: Terminology • Using “Post-it” notes, with just one idea per note, write your preferred terminology for “how school communities can support health and well-being in the school community” • in your group of 3, describe why you made this choice (1 minute max per person). • Come to consensus. • Post your consensus terminology. • Review with the full group.

  7. Systems for Promoting Healthy School Communities

  8. Where to from here? • Develop a “concept paper” that will: • Review history of terms and frameworks • Review recent sources of information on current terms & frameworks • Attempt to bridge terms and concepts so educators and others “get” how they can support healthy school communities • Develop a process to build support for paper • Use the paper to expand impact of healthy school communities

  9. Steering Committee Does this inspire confidence?

  10. Concept Paper: Further Plans • Input opportunities • Advisory Meeting (March) • PHE Conference • Production: 25-, 3- and 1-page versions • Promotion

  11. Task 3: Advice • In what format and through what forums are most suited share communication products for educators and other decision-makers? • Ensuring education perspective is included: What recommendations do you have for educators who conceptualize well and get excited about geeky things like terminology?

  12. Appreciation to all • As usual at this conference I’ve learned more than I’ve contributed.
