This national collaborative of health, education and private sector organizations is helping K-12 schools provide students with at least 60 minutes a day of before, during and after school physical activity through tools, resources, grants, and training.  Learn about the initiative’s framework, partner utilization, school engagement, successes and lessons learned, and results to date.

Learning Areas:

Implementation of health education strategies, interventions and programs
Public health or related education

Learning Objectives:
Describe the initiative’s purpose, framework, and school-level change process. Explain how this collective impact initiative is not an organization nor a program bur rather exists to coordinate and streamline the assets of many organizations and programs to make it easier for schools.
