Live 5-2-1-0 Schools Resource

The Live 5-2-1-0 Schools Resource explains how schools can use Live 5-2-1-0 to connect their health promotion efforts to a collaborative, whole-of-community approach. It highlights Live 5-2-1-0’s alignment with the four pillars of the Comprehensive School Health model and BC’s curriculum, and provides examples of how schools can use Live 5-2-1-0 as a framework for action.

In the Spring of 2023, we updated the Schools Resource to ensure the language used, programs listed, and resources recommended are still accurate and relevant. Since the original Schools Resource was created in 2019, food and nutrition education has changed in British Columbia (BC). BC’s Teach Food First model supports a positive and inclusive approach to eating with a focus on food exploration.

The Live 5-2-1-0 Schools Resource remains a useful tool for school administrators, teachers, principals, parents, and even student health committees. This resource provides examples of how schools can use Live 5-2-1-0 to help tie together efforts across communities to build healthier environments for kids in BC.
