ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH & WELLNESS PLAN TEMPLATE This template was created as a guide to develop a comprehensive health and wellness plan to implement the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) Model in a school or district. All prompts and structures included are optional, and are provided to encourage schools to be deliberate in their planning and implementation of evidence-based practices aligned with the WSCC model. This template was developed by the Center for Rural School Health & Education at the Morgridge College of Education, University of Denver.

Happy planning! 8/26/20 HOW TO USE THE TEMPLATE Make a copy of this file and save it to your drive [see a tutorial on how to do this HYPERLINK "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AR9JEjiBl0" \h here.] Now the template will be yours to edit! Review the template to familiarize yourself with the layout of the plan. Reviewing the plan may provide you with helpful perspectives about the process you could use to create your plan (e.g., convene others to help, review data, get community input, etc.). Populate the plan by following this guidance: Generally, you can leave headings and body text like this alone (but feel free to edit!). ←Replace stock images with photos of people in your school. The information you include should be based on the process you followed at your school. If a section is not useful for your purposes, delete it! If your plan would benefit from additional sections, add them! When you are done remember to delete this page and update the table of contents (page numbers). Circulate a draft of your plan with key stakeholders. Gather feedback and revise your plan. Share the plan with members of the school and community. Remember that communicating it through multiple venues will enable you to reach more people (e.g., post on district website, share with the school board, send home to parents as a hard copy). In addition to creating this document as a plan, consider also having supportive materials at the ready (e.g., Survey data reports, community input data, etc.).
