Brief summary: The purpose of the proposed research is to develop, implement, and test the efficacy of a theory-driven evidence-based peer leadership program for elementary school students (Grade 6/7; age 11/12 years) in relation to (a) their own leadership skills and their leadership self-efficacy (i.e., confidence to lead), as well as (b) the physical literacy of younger (Grade 3/4; age 8/9) students with whom they are partnered.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants must be teachers (Grade 6/7) and students (Grade 3,4, 6 or 7) in elementary schools in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.
* Students must have a basic working knowledge of English.

Exclusion Criteria:

* There are no exclusion criteria that would exclude anyone who otherwise meets the inclusion criteria specified above

Primary outcomes:
measure: Teacher's rating of their student's transformational leadership using the Transformational Teaching Questionnaire
timeFrame: Change from Baseline Transformational Leadership at 6 months (Post Intervention)
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Self-Rated Leadership Self-Efficacy using a ten-item questionnaire
timeFrame: Change from Baseline Leadership Self-Efficacy at 6 months (Post Intervention)
measure: Grade 3/4 student self reported intrinsic motivation using the Intrinsic motivation measure by Sebire and colleagues (2013)
timeFrame: Change from Baseline Intrinsic Motivation at 6 months (Post Intervention)
measure: Grade 3/4 self-reported Perceived Competence using the Perceived Competence measure developed by Sebire and colleagues (2013)
timeFrame: Change from Baseline Intrinsic Motivation at 6 months (Post Intervention)
measure: Physical Self Description Questionnaire (Marsh et al., 2010) will assess Grade 3/4 self-reported self-concept
timeFrame: Change from Baseline Self-Concept at 6 months (Post Intervention)
measure: Fundamental Movement Skills Competence assessed via the Test of Gross Motor Development (3rd edition) and product scores (throw/kick speed, successful number of catches)
timeFrame: Change from Baseline Fundamental Movement Skills at 6 months (Post Intervention)
measure: School Day Physical Activity will be assessed in Grade 3/4 students using hip worn GT3X+ accelerometers
timeFrame: Change from Baseline School Day Physical Activity at 6 Months (Post Intervention)
