ASAP: Accelerating School Activity Promotion
The main aim of ASAP, a project developed for The California Endowment (TCE), was to develop a series of publications that could be used by diverse stakeholders in their attempts to promote best practice and policy in school PE. Following review of these materials and discussion with key stakeholders, recommendations were made to TCE for priorities and next steps to advance PE policy in California.
