School Improvement Plan: Assurances
Take the
HSAT!
Develop
strategies!
Health and Safety (HSAT)
The following assurances come directly from the
Healthy School Action Tool (HSAT) Assessment
(http://www.mihealthtools.org/hsat), an online
tool for school buildings to assess their school
health environments. If your school completed
the HSAT in the past year, you may refer back
to your report to answer the following
assurances. Responses to these assurances are
necessary - whether you've completed the HSAT
or not. These assurances are designed to help
school improvement teams think about conditions
for learning in their school, specifically related to
student health and safety, and develop strategies
in their school improvement plan to
address any identified needs.
Assess learning
conditions!
Move forward!

Does your building have a system in place for
gathering the necessary coordinated school health
(CSH) data?
Does that data get passed on to the school
improvement team (SIT)?
Do your in-house coordinated school health experts
feel comfortable aiding the SIT in incorporating
CSH data into the school improvement plan?

MiPHY shows you: bullying trend, attendance issues
Academic objective states: increase writing scores
Strategy becomes: implement PBIS – get more kids
engaged more of the time
Or…writing across the curriculum: health focus
Or…informational text focus: family health, PE,
personal fitness, diet and nutrition
