RIHSC and the RI Department of Health delivered a professional development workshop for members of the RI Association of School Committees on November 2, 2019. Its goal was to provide context and guidance to school committee members on the topic of adolescent sexual health (ASH) and its importance to students' overall health and success in school and life. Below are resources from the workshop.
RIHSC ASH ASSESSMENT TOOL for school districts
With over 11 Modules around 7 different health topics, the School Health Index self-assessment tool can be overwhelming. To help schools and districts focus specifically on assessing sexual and reproductive health policies, programs and activities, RIHSC has developed the following tool, adapted from the SHI questions on this topic. It will help you self-assess your district/school on POLICY, PRACTICE & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT related to sexual and reproductive health to help identify areas needing improvement, with the goal of helping district middle and high schools towards “2” or “3” in all areas based on best practices as recommended nationally, at state level and by advocate organizations.
