Confidence to Learn  - 
The education team can support staff in taking this highly respected programme forward within their establishments. The programme aims to extend health education and health promotion development in the school, in keeping with the philosophy of the health promoting school. It uses a child-centred approach and explains how research in the classroom enables teachers to look at what motivates a child to learn and achieve.

Pathfinder  - 
The Pathfinder Programme is aimed at those staff within schools who have a leadership and management responsibility for moving forward the Health Promoting Schools agenda within their establishment. This will usually be the headteacher or depute headteacher. Ideally, 3 members of staff from each establishment will attend, this allows for team planning and a co-ordinated / shared approach when returning to school.

The Pathfinder Programme is usually structured as follows:

• 1 or 2 day training - consecutive days, day 2 writing an action plan
   for Health Promoting School work in your establishment.
   
• Support visits from Education Department or Children's Service and/or Health Promotion Department staff to support the implementation of your action plan.
   
• Half or one day follow-up session to share progress on action plans, approximately 3 months after 1 or 2-day training.
