Schools have an opportunity to help prevent obesity and promote physical activity and healthy eating at an early age. The School Health Guidelines to Promote Healthy Eating and Physical Activity are based on an in-depth review of research, theory, and best practices in healthy eating and physical activity promotion in school health, public health, and education. The objectives of this training are to gain familiarity with the nine school health guidelines and to identify strategies to create opportunities for increased physical activity and improved healthy eating.

Instructions on how to gain continuing education credits can be found at the end of the course.
