Ask an Advisor Answers

Question: Hello!
I am teaching a Essentials of Public Health Management course at Longwood University this coming fall 2021. I discovered your tool kit and plan on incorporating most of the content into my class. I would love to talk to one of the advisors about the possibility of speaking (via zoom) to my students.
I have listed below the student learning objectives for this course to help you get an understanding of the goals for this course.
1. Examine how financial resources for health education/promotion program are managed
2.Assess the capacity of partners and other stakeholders to meet program goals
3. Defend the importance of monitoring relationships with key stakeholders
4. Demonstrate how programs align with organizational structure, mission, and goals
5. Identify and collect evidence to justify programs 
6. Create a rationale to gain or maintain support for a program that meets population needs
4. Use various communication strategies to present a rationale that justifies the scope of a program
8. Conduct program quality assurance/process improvement through meaningful and targeted program evaluation
9. Adhere to and apply ethical principles of the profession
10. Determine strategies to effectively develop training programming and professional development materials for staff members and volunteers

I am open to the content/topic and interested in how we can partner to help these students gain valuable knowledge.
Thanks in advance for your response.

Answer:

Hi Jennifer. Thanks for your query and so glad to know you have found the CTB to be useful!  Ask-An-Advisor uses rotating experts with experience in different areas and not all on exactly the same topics or areas of community work. That is why requests like yours are better sent to the toolbox@ku.edu email address that is monitored by the Center for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas. But I reached out to its Director who will forward your request to that team and someone will hopefully follow up with you directly. Meanwhile, if you haven't done so, please see the curriculum modules on the CTB website here: /en/training-curriculum.
Good luck!
