Health Promotion for Staff...
Opportunities
for school staff to improve their health status through activities such
as health assessments, health education and health-related fitness
activities. These opportunities encourage school staff to pursue a
healthy lifestyle that contributes to their improved health status,
improved morale, and a greater personal commitment to the school's
overall coordinated health program. This personal commitment often
transfers into greater commitment to the health of students and creates
positive role modeling. Health promotion activities have improved
productivity, decreased absenteeism, and reduced health insurance costs.

Teachers who participated in a health promotion program focusing on exercise, stress management, and nutrition reported:
l
- Increased participation in exercise and lower weight
- Better ability to handle job stress
- A higher level of general well-being
(Blair, Collingwood, Reynolds, Smith, Hagan, and Sterling, 1984)
l
Students benefit from having healthy teachers because:
l
- Teachers are more energetic
- Teachers are absent less often
- The school climate is more optimistic
