The following Building Healthy Communities orientation outlines the program components, implementation logistics, and the steps for getting started in your school building.

Your school will be assigned a BHC school coordinator who will support the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the program this year. Every school has its own individual needs and your BHC coordinator is there to help you implement the program to fit your unique environment.

The orientation is divided into several parts based on where and how the components may be delivered. You can review some or all of the modules, as applicable to the way you’ll interact with the BHC program in your building:

• BHC in your school (principals and Healthy School Champions)
• BHC in the classroom (classroom teachers)
• BHC in the gym (physical education teachers)
• BHC on the playground (recess monitors, teachers)
• BHC at home (principals, Healthy School Champions, teachers, etc.)
• Supplemental BHC components (Healthy School Champions, PTA, etc.)
