AWhat’s the first step in starting a coordinated approach in our school ?
You may want to have meetings with parents, teachers, and other school staff to discuss the possibility of starting a coordinated approach and delegate a person or committee to undertake a needs assessment to evaluate the current health- related programs and to determine the priorities in this area. A needs assessment usually involves interviews with key people, a written questionnaire distributed to others (parents, teachers, staff), and/or a review of current curriculum, materials, and programs at the school and in the community.
