School settings include childcare; preschool; kindergarten; elementary, middle, and high schools; and vocational-technical programs. The model for promoting and protecting the health of children and adolescents in schools is to place students in the center of the entire school community to promote their cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development with coordinated health policies, processes, and practices that promote learning and health. In schools, health promotion happens in ten areas: (1) Health Education, (2) Physical Education and Physical Activity, (3) Nutrition Environment and Services, (4) Health Services, (5) Counseling, Psychological, and Social Services, (6) Social and Emotional Climate, (7) Physical Environment, (8) Employee Wellness, (9) Family Engagement, and (10) Community Involvement (ASCD®, 2021).
