Glossary of Terms (GT)This is a featured page

This page begins our international Glossary that lists and explains terms and concepts related to promoting health, learning and social development through school-based and school-linked programs. As we build this encyclopedia, additional sub-pages will be created from this starting point. As well, please see the corresponding pages on the same topics in our Encyclopedia, Handbook sections and Bibliographies of Research & Resources.

Each of the Glossary Terms in this web site follows this outline.
