Teacher Implementation Profiles

This study examined teacher implementation practices to meet a state mandate requiring 135 minutes of student physical activity (PA) weekly. Teachers were required to implement a video-based movement integration (MI) program. Using an embedded mixed-methods design, provider characteristics of 42 teachers and the organizational capacity of six schools were developed from interviews, surveys, observations, and artifacts. Data analysis revealed three teacher profiles: (a) <italic>Dynamic Experientialists</italic>, (b) <italic>Coachable Constructivists</italic>, and (c) <italic>Cautious Behaviorists</italic>. There were also three school profiles: (a) <italic>Whole Child Approach</italic>, (b) <italic>Grade Level Champions</italic>, and (c) <italic>Back to Basics</italic>. Findings suggest that school, teacher, and student factors affect MI implementation.
