Strategic Planning Kit for School Health Programs

CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) funds state, territorial, and local education agencies, and tribal governments to improve the health and well being of youth and prepare them to be healthy adults. This kit provides the guidance and tools for developing and using a strategic plan.

A strategic plan is a document that describes a program’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and outlines strategies and directions for the program. It is a program planning tool that provides a blueprint to strengthen program activities, address areas for improvement, and move the program forward to new accomplishments.

This kit describes the content of a strategic plan and a process to develop one.
