Classroom physical activity is an important part of a Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP), giving students opportunities for physical activity during the school day in addition to physical education and recess.
This webinar provides an in-depth look at the new Strategies for Classroom Physical Activity in Schools and related practical resources, developed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Springboard to Active Schools, with input from public health and education experts nationally.

Through this webinar, attendees will:
• Learn about the classroom physical activity strategies and related resources;
• Identify their role in promoting classroom physical activity at the state, district, and school-level; and
