Students from Goodwin-Frazier (Comal ISD), Carl Schurz Elementary and Lone Star Elementary (New Braunfels ISD), will participate in a guided learning experience highlighting the importance of healthy habits. Through a collaborative effort with the two school districts, and the University of the Incarnate Word’s school of Nursing and Health Professions the approximately 200 elementary students will learn how to take ownership of their own health and wellness including strategies for coping with stress, how to eat for health and fun ways to be active. This opportunity also gives college students at UIW a valuable learning experience as expressed by Heather Barton-Weston: “The University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) has a long standing expectation of the highest quality experience and education for their students. It is for this reason the Ila Faye Miller School of Nursing and Health Profession has agreed to plan, implement, and evaluate the student health track through TIPHER’s Community Health Summit. Students enrolled in Principals of Health are taught how to develop, plan, write, justify, implement, and evaluate collaborated school aged health programs. The first half of the semester UIW students were expected to complete a highly intensive content driven curriculum. This process produced over 25 curriculum units and 25 health specific lesson plans. Of those, four were chosen to submit to Comal and New Braunfels ISD for use at the Community Health Summit. The four authors of those lessons then lead a group of six students that implemented and taught the lesson to the Comal and NB ISD student participants. Concurrently, two additional UIW students worked directly with the participating Comal and NB teachers to discuss taking current knowledge and infusing it into their daily lesson plans. The end goal is to increase participant knowledge on health related topics while giving UIW students the experience needed to be effective in the field of health promotion and intervention.” Generous support has been given by the staff of The University of the Incarnate Word, Comal Independent School District and New Braunfels Independent School District. We thank them for their commitment and dedication to providing the children of our community with invaluable lessons and mentorship to improve health outcomes of all students. Based on our evaluations and feedback from participants, school districts and partners, we hope to replicate this type of event across elementary schools in both Comal and Guadalupe counties. Our event on December 5, 2013 serves as a pilot demonstration project. 11 Disclosure to Participants Policies and Standards of the Texas Medical Association, the accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education and The American Medical Association required that Speakers and Planners for Continuing Medical Education activity disclose any relevant financial relationship they may have with commercial interest whose products, devices or services may be discussed in the content of a CME activity.
