The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how private school teachers perceive the value and overcome the challenges of contributing to students' daily physical activity who participate in K-6 Central California schools. It was not known how private school teachers perceive the value and overcome the challenges of contributing to students' daily physical activity. The transformative learning theory (Mezirow, 1997) guided the two research questions: how do private school teachers perceive the value of students' daily physical activity? How do private school teachers describe overcoming the challenges of contributing to students' daily physical activity? Utilizing Saldana's (2016) thematic analysis data derived from a convenience sample of 16 K-6 private school teachers using semi-structured interviews and focus groups. The themes are (1) Private school teachers value students' daily physical activity but note key mentors influence their students' physical activity habits; (2) Private school teachers acknowledge physical activity practices have some value for their students it contributes to students focus and attention; (3) Private school teachers employ diverse strategies to reduce sedentariness to overcome the challenges of contributing to students' daily physical activity by modify a lesson, playing games, dancing and moving around; (4) Private school teachers acknowledge physical activity is essential for students but struggle to contribute due to time constraints without compromising other classroom responsibilities. The findings illustrate teachers employ diverse strategies to contribute to students' daily physical activity but struggle to contribute due to time constraints without compromising other classroom responsibilities.
