Welcome to Module 5: Interpreting WPAT Scores. 
After answering all the questions on the WPAT,  

2
00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:12,220
you will see a results page that 
summarizes your responses.

3
00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:17,820
Across the top of the screen, you will see 
a brief summary about the three separate  

4
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:24,480
scores for each WPAT topic, including a written 
policy score, a practice implementation score,  

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,580
and a recommendation for next steps based 
on the policy and implementation scores.

6
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:37,020
As you scroll down the page, you will see a 
summary for each question. First are the scores  

7
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:43,500
for nutrition education, then standards for school 
meals, competitive foods and beverages, and so on.  

8
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:50,460
For each item there is the written policy score, 
an implementation score, and then a recommendation  

9
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:57,360
for next steps. The recommendation for next 
steps takes into consideration the written  

10
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:03,360
policy score and the implementation score. 
For example, a strong policy with partial  

11
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,920
implementation gives the recommendation to 
focus on a plan to improve implementation.  

12
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,040
Strong policy and full implementation 
get a green star meaning that the policy  

13
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:20,280
and practices are aligned. Keep up the good 
work in this area. If there is a weak policy  

14
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,720
with partial implementation, then the focus 
could be on strengthening the written policy.  

15
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:31,740
And no policy and no implementation are an 
opportunity for growth. The focus could be on  

16
00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:37,020
developing a policy in this area or working 
on improving practices at the school level.

17
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:44,160
As you scroll down the results page, you 
will see the responses for the open-text  

18
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,240
questions that address triennial 
assessment requirements and any  

19
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,540
other information that was included 
in the additional comments section.

20
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:00,660
These results can be easily shared by exporting 
them into a PDF. This report can be emailed to  

21
00:02:00,660 --> 00:02:06,120
the district office responsible for evaluating 
the implementation of the wellness policy or  

22
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:12,780
shared with the school health council members to 
inform action planning and next steps. Results can  

23
00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:18,120
also be exported into Excel and combined with the 
results from other schools in the district to do  

24
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,380
basic analyses and summarize implementation 
of the wellness policy for the district.

25
00:02:22,380 --> 00:02:28,080
From this page, you can also 
edit the team information,  

26
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:36,420
create a new WPAT assessment, reset or email the 
reference number, and view your WPAT history,  

27
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:41,920
which takes you to a list of all WPAT 
assessments under your reference number.  

28
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:49,020
We hope that these videos have been helpful. If 
you have questions about the WPAT or would like

Thank you for all that you do to 
ensure that students have learning  

31
00:03:00,540 --> 00:03:02,820
environments that support 
their health and well-being.
