Better Together Learning Collaboratives with GO NAPSACC

The Better Together Learning Collaboratives include four modules focused on nutrition and physical activity topics that integrate the online Go NAPSACC program self-assessments and tools into the Learning Collaborative framework. Users can use and adapt these materials to plan and implement their own Learning Collaboratives with ECE programs.
