We recommend using the OntarioFoundations for a Healthy School (a companion resource to the K-12 school effectiveness framework) to address a range of health topic(s) and apply a comprehensive approach, through strategies in each of the following key areas:
- Curriculum, teaching and learning
- School and classroom leadership
- Student engagement
- Healthy physical and social environments
- Home, school and community partnerships
Schools offer a wide range of opportunities for students to learn, practice and promote positive and healthy behaviours. The creation of Healthy School environments is heavily influenced by school and classroom leadership.
