The Comprehensive School Health Education Network
Abstract:This brochure describes the purposes and services of a network of health education training centers (list included) supported by Education Development Center (EDC) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). According to the brochure, the network has two purposes: to develop a national network of certified trainers who can provide teachers with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to integrate HIV teaching into a comprehensive school health education program; and to support state departments of education and health, and local school districts in their efforts to provide effective school health education. The centers, based in state and local health and education agencies, universities, and private organizations, are available to assist schools and communities in developing appropriate, locally determined education policies and programs; suggest curricula; train teachers to use this material; provide technical assistance; and promote collaboration between schools and outside agencies.
