School Health Cooperative
Description:
The School Health Cooperative is designed to provide ongoing professional development and on site educational technical assistance for school health professionals (RN, LVN, MA, EMT), clinic/health assistants, school health education professionals, physical education professionals, and School Health Advisory Councils. Cooperative members may send an unlimited number of staff members to School Health workshops, professional development sessions at either free or reduced rates, space permitting.
Problem Solving Solutions:
Participation in the School Health Commitment offers LEAs the opportunity to have their school nurses, health assistance, physical education teachers and health teachers attend professional development sessions and workshops from subject matter experts without having to pay for high dollar speakers and continuing education accreditation costs. LEAs save an estimated $515 per staff member to attend professional development when compared to external vendors.
The Definitive Choice:
The school health commitment offers a unique opportunity for LEAs to send any staff member, regardless of job title, to school health professional development sessions at either free or reduced cost, including free CPR and First Aid certification training.
