About this Community of Practice
The Canadian Association for School Health has been working with number of organizations in supporting school health (e.g. Canadian School Health NGO Network; School Health Research Network; Canadian School Health Knowledge Network). As part of the networking activity, we are developing mini-networks on particular issues, including Schools in Disadvantaged Communities. This Community of Practice presents an opportunity to support knowledge exchange, foster coordination and collaboration on a variety of projects of interest to its participants by bring together national non-government organizations, researchers, local agency practitioners (e.g. school district and health authority professionals) and others as interested. There are several opportunities that are being planned to support the exchange of evidence-informed practices, resources and research. Practical activities geared to helping support effective practice include:
School Health Webinars: These are 60 minute, web/phone based seminars presented by a blend of research experts and practitioners. Each session is very topic specific (e.g. The Cool Factor, Engaging Aboriginal Students through Hip Hop and Traditional Culture). More about the webinars program can be seen at: http://www.safehealthyschools.org/webinars/introduction.htm.
Schools in Disadvantaged Communities Symposium (April 21/08 in Ottawa-Gatineau): this day-long focus on a comprehensive approach to this issue is being planned in conjunction with the 4th annual National School Health Conference. For updated information on this symposium and the National School Health Conference that follows it see www.safehealthyschools.org/shconferences.
