Active Learning Starts at the Top
Let’s Move in School is a national initiative that aims to increase physical activity before, during, and after school.
Creating a culture of active learning starts with administrators, teachers, and staff modeling active behaviors. Think about how your school might include physical activity breaks as part of staff development days, provide in-service sessions on how to integrate activity into the classroom, and offer employee wellness programs for increasing physical activity.

Please participate in the first-ever Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program Survey

As part of the Let’s Move in School initiative, the National Association for Sport and Physical Education of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (NASPE/AAHPERD) is conducting the 2011 Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) Survey to gather baseline data about the extent to which schools are implementing CSPAP components (physical education, physical activity during school, physical activity before and after school, staff involvement, and family and community involvement) at the elementary, middle and high school levels. We are reaching out to physical education teachers across the nation to ask them to complete the survey by Monday, April 18. We believe that physical educators will be best able to answer the survey questions, so if you are not a physical educator, we request that you forward this to those who are. Results will help inform future efforts aimed at increasing physical education and physical activity in our nation’s schools.
