Comprehensive Health Education Management Model

摘要

The Florida Comprehensive Health Education Management Model promotes a multifaceted approach to uniting State health and State education resources to improve comprehensive school health education in grades K-12. The model can help health education managers in other States utilize their official, professional, and voluntary health and educational resources to improve health education, and promote health education as an integral component of a State's health and education plans. The model is based on five major management functions that must operate at the State, regional, district, school, and classroom level, namely, advocacy, clearinghouse, coordination, evaluation, and innovation. Key aspects of the program are a permanent advisory and technical assistance structure at the State, regional, and local levels; instructional programs developed by local school districts; and collaboration with community agencies and resources.
