Leading for Equity in School Health: Session 4
This course is the fourth and last CSHS meeting of the school year. In this session, learners will discuss and present their CQI projects to each other and the faculty.
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
After completing the training, participants will be able to:
1. Apply feedback gained from group discussions to your current and/or future CQI project design and data collection and reporting systems
2. Apply the three-part storytelling approach (Challenge, Activities, and Results) in presenting your CQI project and action recommendations to key stakeholders.
3. Identify at least one lesson learned that you will apply to your “Now What” leading for equity action goals.
4. Explain why assessing data across demographics is a pivotal step in developing QI initiatives focused on promoting equity and evaluating their impact.
