Revised Training Tools for Healthy Schools
Schools play a crucial role in promoting the healthy minds and bodies of young people and helping them establish lifelong healthy behavior patterns. To support schools as they shape our nation’s young people, the CDC has created Training Tools for Healthy Schools: Promoting Health and Academic S..., which offers a national cadre of master trainers to provide workshops on using and implementing CDC's school health tools.
Workshops are open to anyone working on school health issues, including school administrators, health educators, physical educators, curriculum specialists, government agency staff and community volunteers. The trainings offer a systematic way to assess and improve school health policies and programs and also help you to revise current health or physical education curriculum. A workshop may help your community:
- Determine a systematic way to assess and improve school health policies and programs;
- Learn more about national standards for health or physical education;
- Revise your school’s current health or physical education curriculum;
- Align schools in your state or region with CDC's guidelines to promote healthy eating and physical activity.
A limited number of free workshops on the School Health Index: A Self-Assessment and Planning Guide (SHI), Physical Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (PECAT), Health Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (HECAT), and CDC's School Health Guidelines to Promote Healthy Eating and Physical Act... are available.
Sign up today and make this school year the healthiest yet!

Learn More About CDC’s “Healthy Schools” Initiative
Research shows that when students eat healthy and are more physically active, they do better in school. With the help of CDC, communities nationwide are putting this research into practice, year-round.
Learn more about what communities are doing to help schools become places where students not only learn about the importance of eating healthier and being more physically active but, in fact, eat healthier and move more.
