Fitnessgram
Last year my school began using the Fitnessgram fitness tests. The initial test results for my 4th-6th grade students were not up to standards. I had roughly 28% of students that could reach thier age level standards. We worked on the skills that are associated with the fitnessgram tests everyday for our warm-ups. The results were more than I could have asked for. Our final screening had 53% of my students in a healthy fitness range. While the goal is 100%, a 25% jump in one year is pretty amazing. There are many factors that work against students, but the overall goal is to provide students with the knowledge to inprove thier fitness.

I have not heard of this program, I am going to share it with our Coach at school. Thanks
ReplyDeleteSounds like the kids did well with the program. It will be interesting to see what happens with it this year.
ReplyDeleteThis is def. something to show to our P.E. teacher. This is a great way to inform parents about their child's fitness.
ReplyDeleteChad, we do something very similar only kids earn points towards end of the year medals. Gold, Silver and bronze. It is really motivating for some.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool. I will pass this along to our PE teacher and school nurse. They are always looking for ways to communicate information about nutrition and fitness to parents.
ReplyDeleteChad, This is a great way for parents to be informed of their child's progress in school PE. I will definitely let our school PE teacher know about this excellent program.
