The health and wellness of children is a growing concern as the number of children that are unhealthy continues to increase. Schools can play a pivotal role in promoting wellness among children and teenagers through implementing school-wide wellness initiatives that provide students multiple opportunities to learn and use healthy behaviors (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015a; Deschesnes, Martin, Hill, & A.J., 2003; United States Department of Health and Human Services, 2010). By using a case study methodology, this researcher sought to discover how one elementary school was incorporating a focus on school-wide wellness. The research focused on the effect of incorporating wellness in the curriculum, the teacher's instructional practices, and the school environment. The research was completed at one Miami-Dade County Public Elementary School. The ten participants included teachers and staff. The data was collected through observations by the researcher, questionnaires, interviews, and the collection of documents. Through the analysis of the multiple types of data that were collected, the researcher discussed wellness at the research site. This included information about the success of integrating wellness, the barriers to include wellness, and ways to improve the integration of wellness at the research site. The themes that emerged included negotiating curriculum standards and wellness, wellness integrated into school and classroom culture, parental involvement, nutrition, and wellness opportunities before and after school. The findings have the potential to raise the bar for improved wellness programs in schools. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
