Strategic Planning for Sustainment
Sustainment refers to how well an intervention, like InPACT, can continue over time, especially after initial funding or support ends. This video reviews the eight factors that influence program sustainment.
Sustainment Task #1: Enhancing Wellness Policies
Including classroom-based physical activity in wellness policies supports sustainment and shows organizational commitment to teachers. This video explains InPACT’s seven-step policy enhancement process.
Sustainment Task #2: Incorporate InPACT teacher trainings into professional development
Many districts have limited capacity for ongoing teacher training. This video explains how our partnership with Michigan Virtual provides free professional development for new and less experienced teachers to implement InPACT.
Sustainment Task #3: Michigan Model for Health™ Integration
An implementation plan combines strategy, process, and action to apply insights from the Exploration and Preparation phases. This video shows how to turn those insights into concrete steps for achieving InPACT’s goals.
