Study Arms (2)
MAGIC
EXPERIMENTALControl
ACTIVE COMPARATORInterventions
The experimental arm includes using a multifaceted implementation strategy to support the use of classroom-based physical activity approaches (e.g., physically active breaks, physically active lessons, and motor labs). 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.
Participants may receive usual support from the district with access to guidance from district leaders
