Welcome to Module 5: Interpreting WPAT Scores.Â
After answering all the questions on the WPAT, Â
2
00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:12,220
you will see a results page thatÂ
summarizes your responses.
3
00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:17,820
Across the top of the screen, you will seeÂ
a brief summary about the three separate Â
4
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:24,480
scores for each WPAT topic, including a writtenÂ
policy score, a practice implementation score, Â
5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,580
and a recommendation for next steps basedÂ
on the policy and implementation scores.
6
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:37,020
As you scroll down the page, you will see aÂ
summary for each question. First are the scores Â
7
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:43,500
for nutrition education, then standards for schoolÂ
meals, competitive foods and beverages, and so on. Â
8
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:50,460
For each item there is the written policy score,Â
an implementation score, and then a recommendation Â
9
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:57,360
for next steps. The recommendation for nextÂ
steps takes into consideration the written Â
10
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:03,360
policy score and the implementation score.Â
For example, a strong policy with partial Â
11
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,920
implementation gives the recommendation toÂ
focus on a plan to improve implementation. Â
12
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,040
Strong policy and full implementationÂ
get a green star meaning that the policy Â
13
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:20,280
and practices are aligned. Keep up the goodÂ
work in this area. If there is a weak policy Â
14
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,720
with partial implementation, then the focusÂ
could be on strengthening the written policy. Â
15
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:31,740
And no policy and no implementation are anÂ
opportunity for growth. The focus could be on Â
16
00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:37,020
developing a policy in this area or workingÂ
on improving practices at the school level.
17
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:44,160
As you scroll down the results page, youÂ
will see the responses for the open-text Â
18
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,240
questions that address triennialÂ
assessment requirements and any Â
19
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,540
other information that was includedÂ
in the additional comments section.
20
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:00,660
These results can be easily shared by exportingÂ
them into a PDF. This report can be emailed to Â
21
00:02:00,660 --> 00:02:06,120
the district office responsible for evaluatingÂ
the implementation of the wellness policy or Â
22
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:12,780
shared with the school health council members toÂ
inform action planning and next steps. Results can Â
23
00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:18,120
also be exported into Excel and combined with theÂ
results from other schools in the district to do Â
24
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,380
basic analyses and summarize implementationÂ
of the wellness policy for the district.
25
00:02:22,380 --> 00:02:28,080
From this page, you can alsoÂ
edit the team information, Â
26
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:36,420
create a new WPAT assessment, reset or email theÂ
reference number, and view your WPAT history, Â
27
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:41,920
which takes you to a list of all WPATÂ
assessments under your reference number. Â
28
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:49,020
We hope that these videos have been helpful. IfÂ
you have questions about the WPAT or would like Â
29
00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:56,640

00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,540
Thank you for all that you do toÂ
ensure that students have learning Â
31
00:03:00,540 --> 00:03:02,820
environments that supportÂ
their health and well-being.
