Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of enhanced Movement for Academic Growth In Classrooms (MAGIC) for improving implementation and effectiveness of physically active breaks, lessons, and motor labs
Interventions
BEHAVIORALMAGIC
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.
