The three specific goals of the meeting are to:
- Discuss best practices relevant to school health and identify specific information resources;
- Explore strategies for disseminating current information about school health issues and health careers; and
- Identify specific opportunities for collaboration among school librarians, school nurses, teachers, school administrators, health educators and health sciences librarians resulting in a team approach to school heath issues.
In addition to keynote and panel presentations, an "experience fair" will allow attendees to exchange ideas with colleagues from a variety of schools, libraries and other organizations engaged in schools and public health. Attendees will work together in small groups to generate specific ideas for collaborating across professional lines to promote a team approach to school health, following the CDC's "coordinated school health program" model. Drawings will be held for prizes, and refreshments and lunch will be provided with registration.
