This discussion is addressing Area III: Implementation.
Scenario 1
A school health educator was selected by a state professional health education organization to attend a one-day workshop delivered by leading experts on conflict resolution for high school students. The school health educator is required to conduct a two-hour session on conflict resolution as part of regional professional development programs throughout the state during the school year. The school health educator will be conducting education sessions in an auditorium setting with over 100 teachers and administrators in attendance.
Scenario 2
A health educator serving as a prevention specialist in a community-based organization received training in inhalant abuse in adolescence. The community health educator is required to conduct professional development programs about adolescent inhalant abuse for school health teachers throughout the state. The community health educator will be providing education sessions at smaller regional settings held in classrooms at local high schools. No more than 25 high school health teachers will be in attendance at each training site.
