Pre-Conference Workshop IV: Health Education Standards Curriculum Alignment Training (NAHEC Members by Invitation Only)
Jill Black, PhD, CHES, Associate Professor of Health Education and Coordinator of Community Health Education, Cleveland State University; Judith A. Ausherman, EdD, CHES, Associate Professor of Health Education and Coordinator of the School Nurse Licensure Program, Cleveland State University
This workshop will provide an overview of an on-going innovative program designed to align the existing health curriculum at the participating Health Education Centers with the National Health Education Standards. Web-based application of the alignment process will be demonstrated.
The National Association of Health Education Centers (NAHEC), HealthSpace Cleveland (HSC) and Cleveland State University (CSU) have joined forces in a new partnership aimed at aligning the curricula provided through the Health Education Centers (HEC) across the nation to improve the delivery of quality health education programming to all their constituents. Through this partnership, HECs will be better able to develop and teach curricula that meet National Health Education Standards in a creative, effective, proactive way. This effort will improve the HEC's ability to market programs to areas that use the National Health Education Standards to develop their health education curricula.
Curriculum alignment means assuring that the educational programs offered through the different Health Education Centers that are members of NAHEC match the standards and assessments set by the health education professional associations for the specific participants and community members who enjoy these centers. It is a way of "mapping" the curriculum onto the standards to be sure that the centers are delivering the skills and content that are expected.
The National Health Education Standards focus on promoting and improving health literacy and offer a framework for the development and alignment of health education program instruction. Understanding how to use these standards will assist health education programs to offer programming compatible with the needs of their constituents. This workshop will provide practical training in the use of a web-based curriculum tool that will aid in the evaluation of existing programs, the development of a concept map to utilize in future planning, and introduction of a framework for the development of future programming that includes: a structured set of standards and performance indicators, goals and objectives, a uniform structure for lesson plans, rubrics for continued assessment and a comprehensive plan for on-going evaluation (process, impact, and outcome).

Linking Felt Health Need to Traditional Participatory Philosophy: A Model for Health Promotion and Community Development
Godwin Nwadibia Aja, Master of Community Health, Senior Lecturer, Doctoral Student, School of Public Health, Loma Linda University
This study illustrates methods used, through campus-community partnership, to identify, prioritize, and address felt health needs using community resources. The respondents included community leaders and members in a semi-urban Ilishan-Remo, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire, supported with focus group discussions, was used to obtain information on health needs and means of addressing them. Water, identified as the key need, elicited a strong community commitment leading to the construction of four deep wells based on the community's positive traditional participatory philosophy. Health-related, self-identified need is more likely to be met if a community already has a positive history of participation and involvement in social development.

Each week the Program Manager and the Assistant Police Chief present a health lesson in the classroom, act as effective role models, and run with students in the Marathon Challenge.
