Preview the Healthy School Action Tools

We recognize that schools sometimes do not have an Internet connection in the location that their coordinated school health team meets to discuss and reach consensus on their HSAT Assessment and Action Plan. Therefore, we provide downloadable, PDF versions.

Although the print versions of the HSAT do not provide automated scoring and corrections and other advantages offered online, they make it easier for teams to quickly transfer their answers to the online versions.

The print (preview) materials are also useful for those who do not represent schools (and therefore would not complete an HSAT Assessment or Action Plan) but who are interested in assessments of this type or for those who want to check to see what the HSAT Assessment and Action Plan are all about before they make a commitment to completing it.
