Resources Provided to Schools Sample Clauses

Resources Provided to Schools. Since its creation in 1999, HealthMPowers has provided 2,762 hours of direct nutrition and physical activity education, along with an additional 45,753 hours by school staff that have used the educational materials, lessons, and training provided by HealthMPowers.44 Specifically in the area of nutrition, HealthMPowers provides different types of resources to schools based on their “cohort year” (i.e., number of years working with HealthMPowers as of the 2015-2016 school year). Historically, HealthMPowers has found that schools have the most success in implementing new educational materials and programs when HealthMPowers introduces them to schools incrementally, with each cohort year receiving more than the previous. Some schools are considered “virtual schools,” which means that they receive materials electronically (i.e., via email) instead of in-person. Though the types of resources remain the same from year to year, the quantity increases over time. After year 3 of working with HealthMPowers, schools do not receive an increase in quantity of resources but instead received updated materials each year. Thus, during the 2015- 2016 school year, schools in cohort year 1 received the fewest resources and cohort year 3-5 received the most, with virtual schools receiving only electronic materials (Table 1).
