The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE)
announces the Coordinated School Health (CSH) quarterly meeting date for November
9, 2022, Resiliency and School Climate. The DESE, in partnership with
the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), provides professional development and
resources to assist school personnel with addressing the needs of the whole
child in the school setting. The Coordinated School Health Program and
activities are supported with funding provided to the DESE through the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention RFA-DP18-1801 Improving Student Health and
Academic Achievement through Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Management of
Chronic Disease grant funding. This program is designed to develop the
capacity for school personnel to utilize a team approach to address today’s
most relevant public health issues inhibiting academic achievement.

- Overview
of the Resiliency for All training available to districts
- Understand
how trauma-invested practices, social-emotional learning, and PBIS improve
school climate
- Identify
the various components of an effective school climate assessment
Participants may expect to gain information and resources from
content experts. Each meeting will include hands-on activities to assess and
plan for implementing the strategies learned. The CSH meetings are open to all
