  1. Coordinated School Health: Data-Driven Decisions for Healthier Schools

  2. Coordinating School Health:Data-Driven Decisions for Healthier Schools A model developed by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to systematically improve children’s health by integrating health strategies of schools, public health agencies, families and community leaders through schools. http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/CSHP/

  3. Three Facets of Health The World Health Organization defines health positively as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being,” not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

  4. The Picard Center & Coordinated School Health Mission Statement Our mission is to improve the physical, mental and social health of children and families through data-driven decision making and technical assistance, creating collaborative partnerships that emphasize a child centered philosophy.

  5. The CDC Six Critical Health Behaviors • Alcohol and Drug Use • Injury and Violence (including suicide) • Tobacco Use • Nutrition (Obesity) • Physical Activity • Sexual Risk Behaviors http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/CSHP/

  6. Middle School Example:6-8 Grade (337 Participants) Body Mass Index

  7. The Picard Center • Critical issues facing students and the Louisiana Department of Education: • Truancy • Dropouts • Attendance • Behavior • Retention • A key contributor to the student dropout rate is school discipline. A student is more likely to drop out if he/she has been suspended or expelled.1 A student is also more likely to drop out if he/she has been retained–an almost inevitable consequence of multiple suspensions.2

  8. Risk Factors for Dropout: • School Performance • Retention/Overage for Grade • School Behavior • Early Aggression • School Engagement • Low Commitment to School • Early Adult Responsibility • Parenthood • Family Background Characteristics • Family Engagement/Commitment to Education • Social Attitudes, Values & Behaviors • Individual Background Characteristics • IEP? *Risk Factors were adapted from the National Dropout Prevention Center

  9. One School District:

  10. Coordinated School Health Areas of Focus: • Alcohol and Other Drugs • Obesity • School Readiness • Behavior • Attendance and Truancy • Student Health Services

  11. What is our objective? • Engage stakeholders in school improvement (school,district,community and state level) • Collect data to drive CSH Implementation • Conduct data analysis (trend, root-cause) • Research best practices to address data discovered issues • Organize fiscal and physical resources for healthy productive schools • Build sustainable instructional teams that make a difference to students • Provide Technical Assistance

  12. Picard Center Coordinated School Health Model

  13. PREREQUISITES TO SUCCESSFUL DISTRICT IMPLEMENTATION Coordinated School Health & PBS • District Leadership Team • Organizational Umbrella • Financial Models • Data-Driven Decision Making • Political Support • Progress Monitoring • Pilot Sites (Demonstration Sites)

  14. What is next? • Areas of focus: • Alcohol & Other Drugs • Obesity • School Readiness • Behavior • Attendance & Truancy • Student Health Services (Physical & Mental)

  15. Data Triangulation Example: BEHAVIOR • Strengths • District Wide Implementation of Universal PBS • Reduced # of OSS • All schools completed S.E.T and Benchmarks of Quality • Weaknesses • No schools implementing secondary interventions • Grant ending reducing mental health staff from 8 to 3 • Limited Community Mental Health Providers

  16. From the data triangulation… • The district team develops a goal & objectives on the area of focus: • Behavior goal: Maximize access to mental health resources within the school district and the community to maximize instruction.

  17. Picard Center Coordinated School Health Model Issue

  18. How do we get the help we need? • Action Planning • District Team • School Based Team • District Resources • Community Health Advisory Council

  19. Data Driven Decision Making • Policies • Practices • Programs
