The Greater Cincinnati Stroke Consortium is a group of healthcare workers from the Greater Cincinnati area who are dedicated to spreading education about stroke. The GCSC provides stroke education to grade schools in the Greater Cincinnati Tri-State Region. Our age-appropriate curriculum, written by a nurse practitioner and GCSC member, teaches children the signs and symptoms of a stroke and the challenges stroke survivors face on a daily basis (dressing, writing, cooking, etc.).
School curriculum for stroke education
Our school curriculum program helps to empower 3rd to 12th grade students to save lives and live healthy so they can prevent strokes in the future. It is an interactive program lasting anywhere from 45–90 minutes, based on your school’s or classroom’s needs, including a 45-minute presentation and lots of fun, interactive activities.
The curriculum is very flexible, and we encourage involvement of the teachers during the program. We can even bring our giant inflatable brain if there is a location for us to inflate it in (such as a cafeteria, field, or gymnasium).
