An important note to all independent study participants:
In an effort to help with your schedules, while still fulfilling the requirements for graduate credit, I have combined assignments 7 & 8, altered the content, and moved the due date to the end of April. Also, assignment #9 will be deleted and your final assignment – writing a success story using the approved template – will be worth 15 points rather than 5, as stated in the original Course Summary. This final assignment will be due by May 31, 2010. Hopefully this will help!
Assignment #s 7 AND 8 (combined)
Coordinated School Health Team Meeting Discussions: District-level
Policies AND Best Practice Implementation Progress Report
Due by April 30th, 2010
15 points
During the completion of assignment #6, you became aware of district-level policies that support CSH and where your work may intersect with such policies.
Assignment #7 calls for you to lead a discussion with the rest of your CSH team regarding the implications (if any) for implementation of those policies at the school level. For example, if there is a district level policy around healthy foods at school but your school site is not fully implementing that policy, you may choose to work on that policy’s implementation at the building level within your SHIP.
Assignment #8 calls for you to lead a discussion with the rest of your CSH team on how best practices are being utilized to implement your SHIP. By this time, your SHIP has been submitted. However, many of you will not be working on the implementation of that SHIP this year. That is fine.
For this assignment, please complete the “Team Discussions and April Progress Report” worksheet. This is the only document you need to complete to receive credit for these two assignments.
