CSPAP Guide: A Navigation Tool
• Purpose: to enable physical
education teachers and other
physical activity leaders to
develop, implement, and
evaluate a CSPAP
• Components:
– Brief introduction
– Step-by-step process
– Tools and templates
Step-by-Step Process for CSPAP
1. Establish a team/committee and designate a PAL
2. Conduct a needs assessment (SHI)
3. Create vision, goals, and objectives
4. Identify intended outcomes
5. Develop your CSPAP plan
6. Implement
7. Evaluate
Step 1. Establish a Wellness Committee
• An existing school wellness committee
• Should represent a diverse group of education and
health stakeholders
• Serves in an advisory and decision-making role for
establishing, implementing, and evaluating the
CSPAP
• Designate a Physical Activity Leader (PAL)
Step 2: Conduct a needs assessment
• Identify existing physical activity policies, programs,
and practices in the school
TOOLS

Let’s Move Active Schools
Potential items to consider:
• Is there any PE policy at all?
• Are PE and PA policy included in school
improvement plan?

Step 2: Conduct a needs assessment
Example of Needs Assessment Results :
• No before or after-school activities in place
• No recess activities provided
• No physical activity breaks provided
Water Bottle Partner
• Take 2-3 minutes to review the blue sheet,
CSPAP Ideas for Your School
• Get together with your Water Bottle partner and
share 2-3 activities you think might work for your
school.
Step 3: Create vision, goals, and
objectives
• Vision statement
– Shared sense of purpose
– Framework for establishing goals, objectives, and activities for
wellness committee that include CSPAP
– Implications for how CSPAP is organized
•
Goals
– Describe the long-term (5+ years) results or impact of CSPAP
– Establish overall direction for and focus of a program
– Serve as the foundation for developing program objectives
Step 3: Create vision, goals, and
objectives
• Objectives
– Describe program results to be achieved and how they
will be achieved (use SMART objectives)
– Have specific timelines
for accomplishment
– Align with goals
Vision Statement
• A declaration of a shared sense of purpose & provides
a framework for establishing goals, objectives, and
activities for your CSPAP
• Example of a vision statement from CDC:
“Safer, Healthier People”
– The School Health Services Vision Statement:
“All Arkansas children are safe, healthy and
ready to learn.”
Sample Goal and Objective
Goal 1: Increase opportunities during the school day
to increase moderate to vigorous physical activities for
students.
Objective 1: By the end of year one, all 6-8 grade
classroom teachers will have participated in a ½ day
professional development training on how to integrate
physical activity into existing lesson plans.
Step 4: Identify intended outcomes
• Identify early on what changes you want to see as a result of
CSPAP
• Outcomes include changes in:
– Knowledge, attitudes, skills, behaviors, status, or level of
functioning
• Three time blocks:
– Short-term: 1-3 years
– Intermediate: 3-5 years
– Long-term: 4-6 years
• Identify indicators to monitor progress over time
Step 4: Identify intended outcomes
• Possible School Level Outcomes:
– Increased amount of time dedicated to PE for all
students
– Increased opportunities for students to engage in
daily recess
• Possible School Level Indicators:
– Number of minutes dedicated to PE during the
school day
– Number of minutes dedicated to recess during the
school day

(pages 37-38, 59-60)
• Select activities currently/potentially offered
• Identify available activity time
• Identify activity leaders
• Develop budget
• Develop sustainability strategies for your
CSPAP
• Develop communication and marketing
strategies

Step 6: Implement your CSPAP
• Document what will be done, by whom, when,
and how
• Serves as a checklist for the committee
• Aligns with the goals and objectives
• Consider implementation approach
– Pilot
– Phased
– Full-scale
3 Implementation Approaches
• Pilot: small scale implementation planned as a
test or trial
• Phased: a strategy to initiate a new program so
that different parts of the school implement the
change at different times and with varying
intensity levels
• Full-scale: employing all resources and
implementing each strategy
Creating a CSPAP Implementation Plan
• CSPAP Implementation Plan template (pg. 43)
– Identify tasks, activities, or strategies to be
accomplished
– Who will lead the task?
– Start data
– Deadline
– Necessary resources for implementing the task
– Potential barriers to implementing the task
– What communication strategies are needed for this
task?
Step 7: Evaluate your CSPAP
• Purpose of evaluation
– Describe, understand, and plan programs
– Document what has happened in programs
– Improve programs
• Two types of evaluation
– Process
– Outcome
• Conducting an evaluation
– Part of program planning
• Using the data
