Program Overview
COVID-19 has put nurses and schools-based staff through a crash course in flexibility and adaptation. After pivoting to online learning early in the pandemic, schools and districts have had to integrate infection prevention and control (IPC) measures to enable in-person instruction while protecting the health and safety of students and staff. COVID Collaborative, the Harvard Edmund J. Safra Center of Ethics, the Brown School of Public Health and New America formed a task force to develop resources and tools to support nurses and schools-based staff in practicing infection prevention and control measures at the building level. The task force brought together experts and practitioners across education and health, including representatives from NASN and the School-Based Health Allicance to lend their insight.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of participating in this educational activity, learners will be able to:
- Articulate the three core resources to support schools.
- Understand the five core functions of an infection prevention and control program in schools.
- Identify role of the school nurse in implementing an IPC program in the school setting.
