Physical education (PE) can help to achieve important public health goals, but is often under-prioritized and lacking in schools.
To detail the actions, impact, and successes of a strategic alliance formed by three collaborating organizations to improve PE in a large California school district.
Semistructured interviews with alliance members, principals, and teachers in 20 elementary schools, 3 years after the alliance formation.
Interviewees reported district-level increases in priority and funding for PE and attributed improvements to the alliance's collection and dissemination of local data on the status of PE. Common goals, trust, and open communication within the alliance were seen as critical to the alliance's success. However, changes in district- or school-level accountability measures for PE were not reported.
This strategic alliance succeeded in promoting district-level priority and funding for PE. Ongoing alliance work will focus on increasing accountability measures for PE, which may take longer to implement.
体育教育有助于实现重要的公共卫生目标,但在学校中往往未得到足够重视且资源匮乏。
详细阐述由三个合作组织组成的战略联盟为改善加利福尼亚州一个大型学区的体育教育所采取的行动、产生的影响及取得的成效。
在联盟成立三年后,对20所小学的联盟成员、校长和教师进行半结构化访谈。
受访者表示学区层面提高了对体育教育的重视程度并增加了相关资金投入,且将这些改善归功于联盟收集和传播的关于体育教育现状的本地数据。联盟内部的共同目标、信任和开放沟通被视为联盟成功的关键。然而,未报告学区或学校层面体育教育问责措施的变化。
该战略联盟成功推动了学区层面提高对体育教育的重视程度并增加资金投入。联盟的后续工作将聚焦于增加体育教育的问责措施,这可能需要更长时间来实施。
