Specifically looking at facilitation, the class does provide resources in regards to being able to do physical activity at home and discussion on using other resources that already exist in the community. Another part of the overall program is the formation of a local committee that is intended to help enhance the safety and access to facilities within Davenport, Iowa for children to use and increase their level of physical activity. The Social Cognitive Theory also relies on the idea of observational learning to help promote behavior change. Prior to the students practicing some of the activities during the class, there will be a video that shows them how to do them. The video will be of kids their own age who experienced a success from engaging in simple physical activity on their
