U.S. Department of Education PEP Report Update Year 1 1-9-14

Interim Findings: Chicago Public Schools’ Physical Education Program Evaluation

Chicago Public Schools received funding from the U.S. Department of Education to implement the Carol M. White Physical Education Program (PEP). This effort seeks to advance and institutionalize changes to CPS’s existing physical education program. PEP will enable the district to address the areas for growth identified through school health inventories and CPS wellness assessments, including meeting state learning standards and physical activity (PA) time requirements, offering consistent professional development and resources tailored to the needs of PE teachers and building infrastructure to collect and assess data related to PE and student physical activity. PEP will also help the district maintain and increase attention to the importance of a high-quality PE programing for positive physical health, behavior and academic outcomes to ensure that all CPS students have the knowledge, skills and confidence for academic success and lifelong health.

CLOCC is serving as evaluator of the PEP project. The evaluation assesses the PEP project on reaching its goals around individual, student level physical activity acquisition and fruit and vegetable consumption. Interim findings on specific student level outcomes, requested by the U.S. Department of Education, from the first three rounds of data collection are included in this report and in DOE PEP Report 2-20-15.
