Sense in the Sun
Speaker: Janice Clark Young, Truman State University & Brenda Goodwin, Missouri State University

Skin cancer is preventable, yet multiple sunburns during childhood double the risk of melanoma in the future.   Many schools lack sun protection policies and adequately shaded areas.  This session will focus on how to establish adequate sun protection curricula and safe sun policies within a school district and individual buildings, ways to provide professional development for staff and faculty, and an outline of how to foster community involvement in implementing sun safety in the schools.
