The SHI is a self-assessment and planning tool that schools can use to improve their health and safety policies and programs.
It's easy to use and completely confidential.
Clicking the CDC logo will take you directly to the CDC School Health Index webpage>
The SHI has two activities that are to be completed by teams from your school: the eight self-assessment modules and a planning for improvement process:
- The self-assessment process involves members of your school community coming together to discuss what your school is already doing to promote good health and to identify your strengths and weaknesses. The SHI allows you to assess the extent to which your school implements the types of policies and practices recommended by CDC in its research-based guidelines for school health and safety policies and programs. HSA can faciltate these school community sessions and guide your School Health team from program development through program evaluation, and reporting the results. Contact us at the start of the process and you'll achieve your desired results.
- After you complete the self-assessment process, you will be asked to identify recommended actions your school can take to improve its performance in areas that received low scores. You will then be guided through a simple process for prioritizing the various recommendations. Once you've prioritized the various recommendatons you'll want expert strategies and tools to implement the desired recommendations. The HSA consultants have the expertise you need.
