active comparator: Control

Interventions

MAGIC

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.

Control

Participants may receive usual support from the district with access to guidance from district leaders

Primary outcome measure

  • Implementation fidelity as assessed by teacher self-reported implementation logs to assess dose of delivery [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
  • Implementation fidelity as assessed by teacher self-reported implementation logs to assess dose of delivery [ Time Frame: about 6 months after baseline ]
  • Implementation fidelity as assessed by teacher self-reported implementation logs to assess dose of delivery [ Time Frame: about 12 months after baseline ]
