Welcome to this wiki-toolbox that serves as a shared work space for researchers, non-governmental organizations and local agencies interested in a dialogue on the role of schools in alleviating the impact on students ofdisadvantages created by poverty, geography, and other determinants. This dialogue will centre on school-based and school-linked programs in Canada and internationally that make a difference in disadvantaged communities, by taking a coordinated and comprehensive approach.

The purpose of this wiki is to collect the educational, planning, assessment tools related to school health programs and practices in disadvantaged communities. We also have a page on related news and events.

This wiki is kept up-to-date by its members and is part of an ongoing "Community of Practice" that includes:
  • the joint planning of pre-conference sessions at the annual School Health conference
  • webinars on selected topics related to schools in disadvantaged communities
  • other activities organized by the lead organizations and individuals
