Greetings.
Things have calmed down lately so I wanted to throw out a point for
discussion. I would like input from practitioners out there--so university
faculty--hold your tongues (yes, I know, that's tough), or rather, your
fingers/keyboard.
My question is this:
Assuming you went through academic preparation as a health educator, and
assuming you are now working in the field, what did the university program
teach you that was most valuable and what topic/area was not covered but
should have been? OR, if you are an administrator in a practitioner's
setting, what skills do you want your new hires to possess?
You don't need to indicate where you were trained at, but do mention
whether you were trained at the bachelor's or masters level.
As a university faculty member, I often am out of touch with what
practitioners need. That may also be the case for many university health
education faculty. I hope that all of us in the university setting can use
this to advance our preparation of health educators. If one feels as if
they will be 'attacked' for speaking out, send it to me and I'll post it
without names or affiliations.
Here's the 'opportunity of a lifetime' where you can help advance the
professional preparation of health educators. Let us know your thoughts.

Dear All:
I am working on a research project in which I wish to consider what are the
most important leaderships skills in the area of public health today? ( I am
looking at local
public health departments)
Would anyone care to share their thoughts or insights, articles and other
interesting materials regarding this topic. What would you consider a
interesting research
question in this topic area?
Thanks very much.

<P>I have an MS.Ed. in Human Sexuality Education and by far the most valuable
learning I gained from my program was how to
provide rationale/support for my lesson plan content and decision making.
Not only has such a skill helped me
in my field, but in life in general as well. It wasn't until after I
graduated and was working in the
field that I wish more time could have been spent on how to advocate and
organize individuals to act, specifically how
to get sex educators/counselors/therapists to do so. In a field that often
gets lost in public health, school health,
and other disciplines, it is hard to create a group identity and mobilize the
group to act! - yvonne k.

Thanks Mark for giving us the opportunity to speak up on this!
I graduated from a masters program and I, personally, feel all of the
classes
were very key classes that helped to advance my understanding and skill
development. The top areas that I have found to be most helpful for me
were
adult empowerment education and program planning (and theory). The area
that I
feel our program really lacked was a stronger foundation in epidemiology and
evaluation. Both of these are crucial and while I'm learning a lot about
evaluation, in particular, on my job now, I would have definitely appreciated
more exposure to both. That said, I know it extremely challenging to cover
everything in a two-year span...and there's always continual education and
training on the job and back in school if one pursues that route.
Hope this helps.

Action-oriented/application driven classes in:
1) Graphic design (making brochures, flyers, PowerPoint presentations etc);
2) Marketing application (project must use theory to market program,
services, etc);
3) Grant writing (work with local agencies to submit grant to foundations);
4) Application of program planning within community based, schools,
worksites, etc, (must go through the process of planning several programs);
5) Curriculum development (this could be a good way to apply health
education theory, build writing skills, graphic design, etc).
6) Student Internships can provide great experience, if and only if
application of knowledge and skills are integrated in the application of
health education practice and theory.

There are a number of public health leadership institutes around the
country, including the national leadership institute which is located at
UNC-Chapel Hill. There is also a CDC funded public health education
leadership institute operated by the School of Public Health at St.
Louis. I would suggest contacting the St. Louis and N. Carolina
leadership institute faculty and staff.
At St. Louis, the Director is Kate Wright and her staff includes Diane
Weber. I don't have Kate's e-mail address, but Diane can be reached at

Each of the leadership institutes has grappled with the questions you
are raising in determining curricula and approaches.

Here are some responses that have been sent to me individually --some
asking I not post their names:
Thank you for asking the question. I work in the not for profit sector.
While professional preparation in the finer points of health education
practice were valuable, I now find that I require additional training in
areas such as public relations, business management (especially budgets),
and writing strategic plans. Further, I've sought education in early
childhood, supervision of employees, and community involvement (coalition
building, empowerment, etc.). Years ago I wondered why some (many) agencies
running health education programs hired non-health educators for key
positions. As I mature in the not for profit sector I'm discovering the
answer. Some, dare I say many, health educators do not have skill sets
necessary to survive in a 'business' climate.
Now I hire consultants, interns, and associates to work directly with me.
Also, I select agencies and people to run large health education programs
in the community. To make a long story shorter, I humbly suggest that
health education faculty consider across campus or community partnerships
for interdisciplinary training. A healthy dose of work ethic instruction
would also not hurt. I realize the difficulty in managing degree plans and
controlling credit hours. Still, additional efforts may be needed in
meeting Responsibility IX (Administering Health Education Programs).

What an opportunity!!!!! The following is about creating change in the
classroom. The skill is the ability to initiate "systems change".
In New York State, we have created two cohorts of a Health Leadership
Professional Development program for classroom teachers. We work with
Giselle Martin-Kneip of Learner Centered Initiatives to help educators
learn to design experiences that will promote the acquisition of
skills-based learning.
We have a skills matrix based on New York State standards. These leadership
cohorts then go out into the field and turn-key part of the trainings (they
do a gap analysis that helps the practitioner "map" their curriculum and
then see what skills are short-changed.) It has been a fabulous experience
for those who have had the opportunity to work with Giselle.
There is also another process in NYS that gives teachers an opportunity to
have a learning experience they have created presented to a "panel of
experts" that give feedback to the practitioner.These "critiqued
experiences" are gathered in a document for distribution to the field.(New
York State Teaching and Learning [NYSATL].)
For more information, please contact Kim McLaughlin or Jacquee Albers. Kim
has a wonderful Power Point presentation that she may be willing to share.
We have worked at training some higher education practitioners in the need
to change professional preparation so that recent graduates are able to
translate content into skills-based education in the classroom.

The most valuable skills I learned (at SIU, no less), were process
skills. Community organization theories and models, coordinated
school health programs infrastructure components, and health
marketing strategies. I had no idea that I would be attracted to and
invest in a career in university health programs. Now, the most
prevalent and significant tasks I complete require skills in
coordinating health-related activites, development of policies, and
developing systems of support for Student Affairs' activities. Key
to these skills also is knowing how health education co-curricular
programs connect to assessment and planning activities, support and
enhance academic programs and subsequently, contribute to success of
students.
The topic area that I wish had been covered more thoroughly is
budget development and implementation. Also, I think the time has
come to more actively teach advocacy skills (i.e., lobbying,
grassroots activism, etc). I think all of these skills are probably
as useful and relevant to the Chair of an academic department, but
my focus in grad school was how to teach. Thank goodness for the
opportunity to work with faculty who encouraged practical
application in various settings (Welshimer, Fetro, Drolet,
Kittleson, Sarvela).
======
I was trained as a health educator at the undergraduate level. The
thing that I find most useful was the seven core competencies. They
give me a spring board and a method to doing things the "correct" way.
It also allows me to slow people down and get them to think about the
process in a more logical manner. Group projects were helpful, too, but
I do wish that we would have been posed as various agencies given the
task of working on the same project, but offering different
perspectives, agendas, political stances, funding sources and ranges,
etc.
The thing that I didn't learn and wished that I would have been was
GRANT WRITING. The position that I am in now is grant funded and I will
be writing the grant to renew the position next year.
=====
Also, my colleague and chair of the department, David Birch, indicated that
he, and several co-authors, had an article published in the Journal of
School Health requesting similar information for teachers in the middle
school and high school settings. The information is as follows:
Birch DA, Duplaga C, Seabert DM, Wilbur KM. What do master teachers
consider important in professional preparation for school health
education. Journal of School Health, 2001;71(2): 56-60

I graduated with a B.S. in Community Health Education.
Our undergrad program prepared us well for the field.
The majority of classes were valuable in that we were
expected to work in groups many times (collaboration
something that I've continuously done in my
professional career - it is essential to comm. health)
and complete hands-on projects. The Community Health
Education Methods Course probably gave me the most
experience as we were required to work with health
educators at an agency in the community - preparing
PSAs, Press Releases, brochures, advocacy projects.
We were encouraged to participate in other health
promotion opportunities on campus (Sexual Health Peer
Educators through the campus health center, and Eta
Sigma Gamma). All of these contributed to
preparation.
Two things I wish were different about the undergrad
program, at the time I attended, the grant writing
class was an elective, and I did not have the
opportunity to fit it into my schedule. I think it
should be required. So many community programs are
dependent on finding funding through grants.
Second, the evaluation course was required, but did
not provide me with some of the practical experience
received in other courses.
Our professors also encouraged all graduates to take
the CHES exam.

I have an MPH in Community Health Education. The most valuable classes that I
took were in program planning and theory, and community organizing/advocacy.
Not that I knew it at the time, but other classes I wish I could have taken:
Grant writing
Non-profit management
Budgeting
Curriculum development

Dear Jody:
For an inexpensive solution, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
(National Institutes of Health) offers "canned" articles on high blood
pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack, cardiovascular disease, obesity,
asthma, sleep disorders, and more. Also their publications are in the
public domain, and can be republished without further permission (a source
citation is appreciated).
You can join their e-mail list of announcements and articles at
http://hin.nhlbi.nih.gov/joinhin/. You can peruse the catalog of
materials
at
http://emall.nhlbihin.net. If you want links to the currently
available
drop-in articles, send me an e-mail, and I'll give you a list.
For a more expensive, but more turnkey solution, you can also try Coffey
Communications, at
http://www.coffeycomm.com/.
Regards,
Win

That sounds like an excellent article to submit to Health Promotion
Practice, a journal of SOPHE. Your desire to share your experience with
the "process" fits nicely with the mission of HPP - a means to build
skills of health educators. Please go to the SOPHE website at
www.sophe.org, then go to journals and publications to find Guidelines
for Authors.

Greetings.
Things have calmed down lately so I wanted to throw out a point for
discussion. I would like input from practitioners out there--so
university faculty--hold your tongues (yes, I know, that's tough), or
rather, your fingers/keyboard.
My question is this:
Assuming you went through academic preparation as a health educator, and
assuming you are now working in the field, what did the university
program teach you that was most valuable and what topic/area was not
covered but should have been? OR, if you are an administrator in a
practitioner's setting, what skills do you want your new hires to
possess? You don't need to indicate where you were trained at, but do
mention whether you were trained at the bachelor's or masters level.
As a university faculty member, I often am out of touch with what
practitioners need. That may also be the case for many university health
education faculty. I hope that all of us in the university setting can
use this to advance our preparation of health educators. If one feels
as if they will be 'attacked' for speaking out, send it to me and I'll
post it without names or affiliations.
Here's the 'opportunity of a lifetime' where you can help advance the
professional preparation of health educators. Let us know your
thoughts.
