Development of the Workplan
The “Family-School Partnership Workplan for Engaging Diverse Communities in Healthy Schools” was developed by Action for Healthy Kids, guided by the WSCC model and widely recognized family engagement models, and informed by current evidence-based best practices.
For over 20 years, Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) has fostered family-school partnerships to improve student nutrition, physical activity, and social emotional wellness. AFHK’s Family-School Partnership Model is predicated on the need for all stakeholders to have a voice in decision-making that affects children’s health and education. The program design, inclusive of intervention strategies and evaluation methods, places community voice at the center, cognizant that childhood healthy habits and lifestyles are driven by the adults and environments in which children are raised.
