Training for school nurses and school nurse supervisors 

Healthcare plans are written plans used in the school setting to communicate students’ health conditions and their care/accommodation needs. They are written for a variety of health conditions and make it easier for school teams to determine appropriate healthcare interventions. This training will focus on effective methods for creating and utilizing healthcare plans in order to better meet students’ individual needs. Participants in the training will get hands-on practice using a “toolkit” in order to effectively use this model for school-wide implementation.
