摘要：The United States’ health security strategy has been designed to achieve two main goals of strengthening and sustaining the health and emergency response systems and building community resilience. The objectives deemeed necessary to achieve the goals include the establishment of non-pharmaceutical countermeasures that may be needed to mitigate the damage caused by a health incident and maintenance of continuity of communications through technologies that facilitate communication without person-to-person contact. This paper presents a model of a learning network for health security to allow continuity of K-12 instruction in the event of a health incident that warrants extended closure of schools. The learning network could serve as the primary tool for keeping students from congregating at one location in order to break the cycle of infection. The network will enable States and school districts to transition seamlessly from the classroom setting to a virtual collaboration and learning environment where the quality of instruction and learning is maintained. It will provide tools to depict the classroom environment by supporting the usual classroom teaching and learning strategies. The network has the potential for becoming a significant piece in each State’s arsenal of security and emergency preparedness tools.
