Abstract
Schools can promote physical literacy through the implementation of sustainable and impactful whole-of-school physical activity programs. Acquiring physical literacy involves comprehensively scaffolding student experiences across the whole school to increase their competence, confidence, and desire to be active for life. One pitfall is when physical activity leaders act alone or fall into the trap of "adding yet another program" instead of working collaboratively with their wellness committee. The goal when creating whole-of-school modeling is to work with what currently exists and "phase-in" efforts to increase physical activity programming instead of stimulating leadership to try to imitate or replicate a model. This article discusses key principles of whole-of-school modeling and details corresponding strategies and tools that can be used to build an integrated and equitable whole-of-school physical activity program that can create lasting changes to school culture.
