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.
