The UConn Collaboratory on School and Child Health and the UConn Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity are pleased to announce the release of the WellSAT WSCC, a comprehensive school policy evaluation tool aligned with the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model. The WSCC model was jointly developed by the ASCD and CDC to offer an integrated model of health and education in supporting student needs. The WellSAT WSCC builds on the history of the WellSAT developed by the Rudd Center, which is an evaluation tool for evaluation of school wellness policy.

CSCH Steering Committee member Marlene Schwartz and CSCH Co-director Sandy Chafouleas collaborated in developing the WellSAT WSCC, and together with a group of graduate and undergraduate students, are working with the State Department of Education over the 2019-2020 school year to pilot test this measure with districts across Connecticut.
