The School Physical Activity and Physical Literacy project is a multi-component school based health promotion initiative for B.C. elementary schools. The project seeks to increase minutes of physical activity during the school day, improve physical literacy, support mental well-being, and support students to learn and care for their physical and mental health. The project components will focus primarily on building the capacity of B.C. elementary school educators to increase their confidence and competence in delivering the Physical and Health Education curriculum and providing quality physical activity and physical literacy opportunities at school. This includes the development and implementation of an approach to supporting educators working within First Nations schools.
The project will provide both in-person and online professional development opportunities, including workshops, webinars, eLearning, in school support and summer institutes. In addition, classroom and school resources will be provided to educators and made available online. The project is being prototyped across a diverse subset of school districts and schools in B.C starting in Spring 2020.
