Jeanne Shipp lives in Baytown, Texas, and earned a degree in nursing from Lee College before starting her career in the medical field. As a co-founder of Patients ER, Jeanne Shipp presented a $15,000 donation to the Goose Creek school district, which employs the whole school, whole child, whole community (WSCC) model of education.
The WSCC model is an updated version of the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) coordinated school health approach, which consists of eight key components. This new model was created by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) The main focus of the model is on the child, how overall health affects academic achievement, and how the whole community has a role in supporting the school.
One of the main goals of employing WSCC is to highlight the important connection between education and health, and aligning those resources for the betterment of the child. Collaboration between education and health resources can ensure that a child has the best possible cognitive, mental, physical, and social development opportunities.
Schools offer programs that help ensure children have nutritious meals, access to extracurricular activities, and mentorship and guidance along the way.
