Grant Overview

Tennessee Target Outcomes for High School Health Educator Training

Tennessee reports that 28 percent of high school students in its 95 counties live in households below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, correlating with higher rates of untreated chronic conditions documented in the state's Youth Risk Behavior Survey. The 2023 survey showed that only 34 percent of students in Appalachian counties received any classroom instruction on local nutrition resources compared with 61 percent in the Nashville metropolitan area.

The grant supports educator travel to Tennessee Department of Health workshops on adolescent mental health first aid and to agricultural extension offices for farm-to-school curriculum training. Outcomes tracked include the number of students who complete a documented health skills portfolio and the percentage of participating schools that add a full-semester health elective.

These outcomes matter because Tennessee's graduation requirement for health is limited to one semester, and rural districts often combine health with physical education, reducing instructional time on nutrition and mental health topics.

Tennessee differs from neighboring states because applications must link proposed training to the state's specific county-level obesity and suicide attempt data published by the Department of Health.

Implementation Approach in Tennessee

Teams submit through the district coordinated school health office and include a letter from the county health council confirming alignment with the district wellness policy. Budgets list exact costs for substitute teachers during training days and travel to approved University of Tennessee extension sites. Reports must show pre- and post-training student survey results on health knowledge items drawn from the state Youth Risk Behavior Survey instrument.
