Part 2
Outlines five goals important for good asthma management in school settings. Each goal is followed by action steps that schools can take to move them closer toward the goal. These slides provide the guidance needed by an audience that is ready to make changes for a more asthma-friendly school environment.

Expert Panel Report 2 (EPR-2): Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma is available for use in combination with the School Asthma Education slide set. The EPR-2 slide set is particularly useful in expanding the basic school information to develop a more detailed presentation that focuses on the medical management of asthma and the importance of partnerships (with health care providers, families and school personnel) to provide education and support to people with asthma.
