  11. ACSIP Format • A Priority has Scientific Research Based Interventions and provides author, source, title, and date. • Be careful that it is not “Vendor” research which could be biased in the vendor’s favor. • Be sure to have a hard copy of the research on file.

  12. Research Example from District ACSIP Intervention: Administrative Support for Wellness Scientific Based Research: Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 103(7): 887-93. 2003. NAL Call Number: 389.8 AM34 Position of the American Dietetic Association: Child and adolescent food and nutrition programs. J. Stang, C.T. Bayerl. Guidelines for School Health Programs to Promote Lifelong Healthy Eating (June 14, 1996/Vol.45/No. RR-9); Guidelines for School Health Programs to Promote Lifelong Physical Activity (March 7, 1997/Vol. 46/No. RR-6).

  13. Research Examples from Building ACSIP (1) Intervention: Blank Elementary School will encourage strategies and activities that promote an active and healthy lifestyle. Scientific Based Research: Wechsler,Hal Ph.D., Let's Get Physical-Promotion and Education Strategies http://www.fns.usda.gov/oane/menu/NNEC/Files/2003/LetsGetPhysical.pdf

  14. Research Examples from Building ACSIP (2) Intervention: Blank Elementary School will encourage strategies and activities that encourage a non-sedentary lifestyle. Scientific Based Research: Shenson, D., "The Role of Schools in Preventing Childhood Obesity." President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports Research Digest. Seriest, No.3. September 2006. Health Affairs, July 1, 2006.

  15. ACSIP Format-Interventions Interventions need at least 3 types of actions to fully develop the intervention: • Appropriate implementation and/or Instructional strategies, • Appropriate professional development and • Evaluation of the intervention.

  16. Sample Professional Development Actions (1) • PE teachers will use the "WAY" curriculum, after receiving training, with 4th grade students to promote personal wellness through responsible decision-making. • PE Teachers will lead 4th grade students for the Presidential Fitness Challenge. Teachers will receive training to lead this challenge. Students will be recognized for their level of fitness.

  17. Sample Professional Development Actions (2) • Blank School District will involve parents in physical activity and nutrition education through homework, national school lunch program menus, and parent-teacher organization meeting presentations and professional development activities. Professional Development will be provided for both teachers and parents and will focus on physical activity and nutrition education, and health risk indicators that compromise students ability to perform academically, etc.

  18. Program Evaluations ACT 807 states that all programs and/or Interventions must be evaluated for effectiveness. Although the Wellness Priority is not monitored during the ACSIP Monitoring process, evaluation is still required to know what is working in your building and what is not. This will help your district know funding needs as well.

  19. Components of Program Evaluation There are three components involved with Program evaluation (refer to 8E on the ACSIP Rubric Checklist): • 8E1-How will you verify Implementation? • 8E2-What tools of evaluation will be used? • 8E3-What are the results? Are they effective or not?

  20. Sample Evaluation (1) Physical Education and Health curriculum will be aligned with Arkansas Frameworks. 8E1-Principal will perform CWT’s and monitor lesson plans and for inclusion of Physical Activity Standards. 8E2-SHI will be used for evaluation. 8E3-This Intervention has proven effective by increased SHI results.

  21. Sample Evaluation (2) 8E1-This intervention’s implementation will be verified by CWT’s and lesson plans. 8E2-The BMI will be conducted every year for even grades as required by ACT 201 of 2007. 8E3-Results have been analyzed and this intervention has proven effective based on these results as stated in supporting data field #2.

  22. Sample Evaluations (3) 8E1-Staff will meet quarterly to ensure the intervention and actions are being met and to modify as necessary. Agendas, minutes and sign-in sheets will be used to verify implementation. 8E2-This will be whatever evaluation tool that matches the program. 8E3-Results may or may not show effectiveness. If not, state how modification will be done.
