1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,780 Welcome to Module 3: Starting  the WPAT Assessment. After completing   2 00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:12,120 the fields to create a new WPAT, you will be  directed to the beginning of the assessment.   3 00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:16,980 At the top of the screen, you will see  that you are on the first of 31 topics. 4 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,420 You're in the section on Nutrition Education and that the first topic is  on curriculum that teaches skills using active   5 00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:34,080 learning strategies. As you scroll down the page,  you will see instructions to click the icon next   6 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,640 to each question to view additional information  about the assessment item and responses.   7 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,160 The first question in the  assessment is from the WellSAT 3.0.   8 00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:49,980 It is labeled as NE2, which is the  same label used on the WellSAT tool.   9 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,780 If you have already completed a WellSAT  assessment, you can look at the results   10 00:00:54,780 --> 00:01:01,920 for question NE2 and click on that result in the  WPAT. However, if you've not completed a WellSAT   11 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,660 assessment, you can answer the question  in real-time directly on the WPAT tool.   12 00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:12,900 The question asks you to assess the district's  written policy about nutrition education   13 00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:19,480 teaching skills that are behavior-focused  interactive and/or participatory.   14 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:30,840 The response options are zero no policy,  one weak policy, or two strong policy.   15 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,320 For guidance on how to determine the strength  of the policy, click on the info bubble.   16 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,920 A pop-up screen will come up with additional  guidance. A zero means that the district does   17 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,980 not have a policy about this topic. There will  also be examples of sample language to help you   18 00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:56,460 determine the difference between a weak policy and  a strong policy. This guidance comes directly from   19 00:01:56,460 --> 00:02:01,920 the WellSAT tool. Once you score the policy,  you can scroll down to the next question. 20 00:02:04,980 --> 00:02:08,040 The next question is asking  about school-level practices   21 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,520 based on a question that is from  the School Health Index or SHI.   22 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,880 If you've already completed the SHI, you can  simply type in the results from Module 2 N.1.   23 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,920 If you have not yet completed the SHI, you can  answer the question directly in WPAT. 24 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:32,520 Question N.1 asks, "Does your health education  curriculum address all these essential topics on   25 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:38,760 healthy eating?" You can click on the information  bubble to see the list of essential healthy eating   26 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,760 topics. Then select the response that most closely  describes what is happening at your schools.   27 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,320 Does health education curriculum  address one or none of the topics,   28 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,960 some of the topics, most of the  topics, or all of the topics? 29 00:02:57,180 --> 00:03:01,500 As you scroll down the page you will see that  there are two more questions from SHI to address   30 00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:11,760 Module 2 CC3 and Module 2 CC4. Using a similar  process as above, read through each question,   31 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,460 click on the info bubble for more details if  needed, and then select the appropriate response. 32 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,860 After completing all 4 questions on this page,   33 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:27,420 you will see a summary of the  scores at the bottom of the page: 34 00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:34,500 a written policy score, an implementation score,  and recommendations for next steps in this area.   35 00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:41,340 From here you can either save and exit the  assessment or continue to the next question. 36 00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:49,020 After clicking on "next" question, you will  see that you are now on question 2 of 31.   37 00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:54,540 This question is also focused on nutrition  education but asks specifically about the   38 00:03:54,540 --> 00:04:00,600 curriculum and if it is required and aligns with  standards. Using the same process as before,   39 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,160 you will first answer the question about the  district wellness policy for this topic and   40 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,960 then answer the question about school-level  practices. And again, you will see a summary   41 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,660 of the policy score implementation scores and  recommendations for next steps in this area.  42 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,520 The WPAT consists of 31 topics:  5 on nutrition education,   43 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:31,320 4 on school meals, 8 on competitive foods, 11  on physical education and physical activity,   44 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,260 and 3 on wellness promotion and marketing. 45 00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:42,420 in addition to the 31 topics, there  are a few open-text questions that   46 00:04:42,420 --> 00:04:48,780 we will discuss in our next video: Module 4:  Completing Open-Text Questions in the WPAT.
