  Interventions and provides author, source, title,

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.

17
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.

Sample Professional Development Actions (2)

  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.

19
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.

20
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?

21
Sample Evaluation (1)

• Physical Education and Health curriculum will be
  aligned with Arkansas Frameworks. 8E1-Principal
  will perform CWTs and monitor lesson plans and
  for inclusion of Physical Activity Standards.
• 8E2-SHI will be used for evaluation.

  increased SHI results.

22
Sample Evaluation (2)

• 8E1-This interventions implementation will be
  verified by CWTs 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.

23
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.
