School Health Professional Development Survey

The Kentucky Department of Education has been awarded a five-year cycle of Centers for Disease Contorol & Prevention (CDC) funding to further enhance student health and academic achievement. The purpose of this project is to 1) Increase the number of students who consume nutritious foods and beverages; 2) Increase the number of students who participate in daily physical education and physical activity; 3) Increase the number of students that can effectively manage their chronic health conditions.

Our partnership with your district and schools to improve the above-mentioned goals include infrastructure development and sustainability, professional development and training and technical assistance.

Please take a couple minutes to respond to this brief survey which will assist us in working with our schools and communities to achieve the desired outcomes. We ask that you share this needs assessment with any persons in your district, schools and community who have a role in improving academic success and healthy behaviors.

For each completed needs assessment, the school community will be entered into a drawing to receive free or reduced registration credit toward future professional learning/training and/or valuable resources.  If your district is interested in being considered in a random prizes drawing for completing the needs assessment, be sure to complete the survey in its entirety. Please complete this survey by April 19, 2019.
