Portfolio Assignment: Observe the Eight Components of CSH Program

Develop a survey of 2-5 questions on each of the 8 CSHP components that you will ask in an interview with a principal of a school. Use the essentials of a quality CSHP as discussed in Health is Academic and the related web sites as you develop the survey for the interview. Focus on:
1. The extent to which the school is focusing on reducing the prevalence of the six key risk behaviors.
2. The extent to which the essentials of each of the 8 CSH components are being followed by the school.
3. The extent to which there is coordination among the 8 CSH components.
Select a school of your choice where you will conduct the interview. Contact the principal and establish a time for the interview. Let the principal know that you are taking a course on School Health Programs and your interview is part of the capstone experience for the course. If you feel comfortable with this suggestion, offer to give the principal a copy of your evaluation and recommendations on how this school could improve its CSHP.
