Train the Teachers Guide

Allergies are often a key trigger for asthma symptoms. By helping your students understand how to control their allergy symptoms, you may also be able to help them with their asthma management.

In order to mount a successful Allergy Awareness program, one person—a school nurse, administrator, or teacher—should take primary responsibility for the project. That person can contact community resources, set up a committee of appropriate teachers, and serve as the central distribution point for the lesson plans and other materials. This guide includes:

1. A brief discussion seminar that the leader can use to familiarize participants with the project
2. A set of journalism assignments for students to complete regarding allergies
3. A set of letters to community participants and parents
4. Questionnaires designed to elicit information about personal allergy history from students and their parents
