Overview
Children and adolescents spend so much of their time in school regardless of where they live in the world. Health and learning are closely connected in the school setting, where good health and healthy practices create the optimal conditions for students’ academic success. And the contrary is also true: poor heath and unhealthy practices build tall barriers to student learning.
The School Health for Children and Adolescents Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Colorado System is designed to equip learners to manage common health conditions including asthma, allergies, diabetes, and seizures.
