Join the discussion on the recently developed 8 Core Indicators to Monitor
Progress Towards School Health. International agencies have developed the
indicators to monitor national and school level progress in accordance with
the four pillars of the international Focusing Resources on Effective
School Health (FRESH) framework. The four pillars are: equitable school
health policies, safe learning environment, skills-based health education,
and school-based health and nutrition services. The FRESH framework is an
inter-sectoral partnership launched at the World Education Forum in 2000 to
highlight the importance of school health for the achievement of the
education Millennium Development Goals. This webinar will provide an
overview of the FRESH Framework and proposed indicators and an opportunity
for participants to discuss its contents and potential uses. A draft
document<http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/HIV-AIDS/pdf/ENGLISH_M_E_Guidelines_for_web.pdf>has
been prepared for discussion and revision and is available on the
UNESCO FRESH website<http://www.unesco.org/new/en/education/themes/leading-the-international-agenda/health-education/fresh/>.

ISHN does secure small grants and project funds for many of their
activities but, as we all know, most of these funds are targeted on a
specific health issue and not on general school health promotion or on
knowledge exchange in general. So, we have launched an information service
that has ISHN working with other international and national organizations
to bring the latest research, news and resources in daily, weekly and
monthly formats. The latest weekly report is attached as an example of what
ISHN members receive each week. In the near future, that ISHN membership
will include access to over 3,000 lesson plans and educational resources as
well as a parent information service that can be embedded in organizational
and school web sites offering tailored, curated, syndicated content.
We need your support, so please consider joining ISHN by going to this web
page<http://www.internationalschoolhealth.org/types--benefits-of-ishn-membership.html>.
In addition to the information service, you will have have reduced fees for
the upcoming ISHN symposium next August 23-25 in Pattaya, Thailand.

*Community Schools: Building & Maintaining Support/Political Will at
Different Levels and in Different Contexts*****
- Christine Jones, Director, International Centre of Excellence for
Community Schools****
- Jane Quinn, Director, National Center for Community Schools, USA****
- Edina Malkic, Director, Peace & Collaborative Network, Bosnia****
- Natalia Sofiy, Director, Step by Step Foundation, Ukraine****
- Ron Nolan, Ministry of Education, Saskatchewan, Canada ****
Those wishing to develop Community Schools in their countries will need to
win support. This needs multi-dimensional strategy and this webinar will
explore strategies for attracting professional, community and political
support for Community Schools at all levels – inside the school from staff,
pupils and their parents and outside the schools from professionals, the
wider community and decision makers. The decision to adopt a Community
School approach (or any other multi-intervention strategy) requires more
than evidence-based arguments. Those promoting community Schools will need
to take advantage of relevant incidents, demonstrate their relevance to
emerging needs or directives for change, identify practical examples which
capture the interest of decision-makers, show practitioners how they can be
introduced in a manageable way suggesting risk-averse trial period.
Nurturing informal support networks and building on successful pilots is
essential. Because Community Schools engage in active partnerships so at
strategic level those supporting their development should be informing and
seeking support from a variety of sources such as businesses, departments
of government as well as keeping practitioners and communities on boards.
Supporting head teachers recruit suitable staff, training current
practitioners, win parental trust and draw in volunteers are key elements
which will help ensure the growth of sustainable models which will flourish
with or without formal political support. In this webinar, the presenters
will each identify two-three points that were most important to their work
and situation. Subsequent webinars will likely address aspects of this
initial discussion in more depth. Questions from the audience will be taken
to ensure a vibrant discussion.

*Parent skills training/education programs: How schools can help other
agencies to prevent substance abuse and promote healthy development*****
- Hanna Heikkila, Prevention Specialist, Youth
Programs<http://www.unodc.org/youthnet/en/youthnet_action.html>,

Promotion & Education, University of Utah, Founder, Strengthening
Families****
- Lesley Whyte, Council on Drug
Abuse<http://drugabuse.ca/new-programs-development>,
Ontario, Canada* *****
This session will examine how schools can work with other agencies and
parent organizations to help them deliver informal, formal and
on-line/media-based parenting/family skills training and education. The
focus will be on preventing substance abuse but most effective programs
also address other health/social problems as well as seek to develop
family/parenting strengths. Ms Heikklia will describe their excellent
collection
of programs<http://www.unodc.org/docs/youthnet/Compilation/10-50018_Ebook.pdf>gathered
by the UNODC and the lessons learned in preparing and
disseminating an implementation
guide<http://www.unodc.org/pdf/youthnet/family+based/FINAL_ENGLISH_version+for+PRINTING+received+120209.pdf>on
such programs. Dr. Kumpfer will describe the SF program and how it
addresses the needs and strengths of parents/families as well as the
implementation challenges. Lesley Whyte will begin the discussion about
these programs by describing some of the issues they are addressing in
developing an effective parenting program. This session will benefit from
an extensive collection of examples, research articles and recorded
webinars that have been collected in a Wikipedia style
summary<http://www.schools-for-all.org/page/Parent%2FFamily+Skills+Training++to+Prevent+Substance+Abuse+%28EE%29>of
the evidence and experiences with these programs. Participants will
also
be reminded about the previously recorded Canadian
webinar<https://sas.elluminate.com/p.jnlp?psid=2009-10-22.1108.M.19331B2966A2094E89C3A7D82583D7.vcr>describing
the implementation of the Strengthening Families and Families &
Schools Together in Canada.
