Advocating for a Healthy, Active School

Advocacy is a powerful set of action-based strategies through which people are engaged in the decision-making processes that affect their lives and the lives of others.

3. Name two advocacy ideas that a teacher could use in the classroom and two advocacy tips a parent can use in the community, please explain why they are important.
