Treatment and study plan

Implementation strategy for active learning to promote physical activity

Behavioral

The experimental arm includes using a multifaceted implementation strategy to support the use of classroom-based physical activity approaches. The strategy consists of a series of leadership trainings designed to help them support teachers, teacher trainings to build skills, and a monthly newsletter to reinforce implementation and provide access to existing resources.

Usual implementation support

Behavioral

Usual support consists of the potential to access general resources from the district wellness department. These resources include access to funds to send staff to external trainings and general guidance for how to use active learning approaches.

Primary outcomes

  1. Acceptability of Active Learning Among Teachers as Assessed by the Acceptability of Implementation Measure (AIM)

    Time frame: Baseline

    The Acceptability of Implementation Measure (AIM) total score is from 1 to 5, with higher scores representing higher levels of acceptability.

  2. Acceptability of Active Learning Among Teachers as Assessed by the Acceptability of Implementation Measure (AIM)

    Time frame: Approximately 7 months after baseline

    The Acceptability of Implementation Measure (AIM) total score is from 1 to 5, with higher scores representing higher levels of acceptability.

  3. Acceptability of Active Learning Among Teachers as Assessed by the Acceptability of Implementation Measure (AIM)

    Time frame: Approximately 13 months after baseline

    The Acceptability of Implementation Measure (AIM) total score is from 1 to 5, with higher scores representing higher levels of acceptability.

  4. Implementation Fidelity as Assessed by Self-reported Implementation Logs to Assess Dose of Delivery

    Time frame: Baseline

    Implementation logs will be completed weekly throughout the study and dose of delivery is the number of minutes per day of active learning used.

  5. Implementation Fidelity as Assessed by Self-reported Implementation Logs to Assess Dose of Delivery

    Time frame: Approximately 7 months after baseline

    Implementation logs will be completed weekly throughout the study and dose of delivery is the number of minutes per week of active learning used.

  6. Implementation Fidelity as Assessed by Self-reported Implementation Logs to Assess Dose of Delivery

    Time frame: Approximately 13 months after baseline

    Implementation logs will be completed weekly throughout the study and dose of delivery is the number of minutes per day of active learning used.

  7. Implementation Fidelity as Assessed by Teacher Survey of Dose of Delivery

    Time frame: Baseline

    Dose of delivery is the number of minutes per day of active learning used.

  8. Implementation Fidelity as Assessed by Teacher Survey of Dose of Delivery

    Time frame: Approximately 7 months after baseline

    Dose of delivery is the number of minutes per day of active learning used.

  9. Implementation Fidelity as Assessed by Teacher Survey of Dose of Delivery

    Time frame: Approximately 13 months after baseline

    Dose of delivery is the number of minutes per day of active learning used.

  10. Student Physical Activity as Indicated by Number of Minutes Per Day Spent in Moderate and Vigorous Physical Activity as Assessed by the Actigraph GT3X+ Accelerometer

    Time frame: Baseline

  11. Student Physical Activity as Indicated by Number of Minutes Per Day Spent in Moderate and Vigorous Physical Activity as Assessed by the Actigraph GT3X+ Accelerometer

    Time frame: Approximately 7 months after baseline

  12. Student Physical Activity as Indicated by Number of Minutes Per Day Spent in Moderate and Vigorous Physical Activity as Assessed by the Actigraph GT3X+ Accelerometer

    Time frame: Approximately 13 months after baseline
