ForwardLeading for Equity in School Health: Session 3
This course is the third of four CSHS meetings that will discuss leading for equity in school health. In this course, learners will explore what it means to lead well and what it takes to achieve health equity. Through small and large group discussions, learners will reflect on their purpose/mission in providing equitable school health services. Learners will also examine their vision for a future where access to health resources is equitable for all students. Upon completion of this session, participants will be prepared to write their leadership purpose and vision and collaborate with their district teams to create a shared vision for health equity. Learners will also be prepared to begin collecting data and develop and/or refine their annual quality improvement project plans.
This course aligns directly with the CSHS grant scope of services and annual DESE evaluation criteria. Learners will apply training and tools to meet CSHS grant requirements to assess and address health inequities due to institutional racism and socioeconomic disparities through their annual Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) projects. Work completed in this course (all four sessions) can be applied directly to meet CSHS grant requirements. Work completed can also be applied to meet DESE SMARTIE goal requirements.
Target Audience
CSHS grantees, and school health professionals interested in this learning.
Note: While programming for CSHS meetings is developed with the grantee scope of service and performance measures in mind, any school health professional may benefit from topics covered, and guiding principles for CQI projects described within the grant framework apply to any district or school.
Learning Objectives
Participants after this webinar will be able to:
1. Describe how other MA school nurse leaders are applying the challenge model and using the demographic monitoring forms for their CQI projects
2. Identify CQI project actions that are in your sphere of influence
3. Analyze stakeholders’ interests and concerns.
4. Prioritize activities and draft a plan to implement them
