4. Fitnessgram: Options to Challenge your Students President’s Challenge: https://www.presidentschallenge.org/challenge/physical/b enchmarks.shtml https://www.presidentschallenge.org/challenge/physical/b enchmarks.shtml Traditional Fitnessgram (California’s benchmark test to waive out of PE) ~ 38 th percentile. Failure = “at risk of sedentary lifestyle disease”. Does not mean student is fit or healthy if pass at 38 th percentile. National Fitness Award = 50 th percentile for all 5 categories. Presidential Fitness Award at or above 85 th percentile for all 5 categories. Awards include patches and/or certificates. Ideas how to receive funding for awards? 3

5. Fitness Plans Revised for 2013 Updated fitness plans based on feedback from CIA meetings. Two options: traditional word document with web URLs provided for students to enrich experience (but not required) and fully online and interactive project. Content and standards the same for both fitness plans. Grading rubric the same for both fitness plans. 4

6. Traditional Word Document District Fitness Plans Pros Teachers and students familiar with this type of project. Individual project for students (work at own pace). Teachers don’t need computer experience to explain the project. Students do not need internet access to complete the project. Cons Wastes paper: 11 pages per copy. Not challenging for students who have strong computer skills and or curiosity about subject. Not able to differentiate for students as can with the online project. Hard for students with special needs (a packet with limited pictures can be problematic). Not good use of iPads or inline with higher order thinking skill development. 5

7. WebQuest District Fitness Plan Pros Fun and highly interactive for students. Students create a project they will present which involves creative and higher order thinking. Holds students accountable. Able to differentiate. Pictures and graphics more suitable to students with special needs. Students can easily work at home. Possible to complete project with no papers printed. Cons Teachers and students need a basic comfort level with PowerPoint, Word and the Internet. Need access to computers (high school) and internet. A learning curve for transitioning from teacher directed instruction to computer supported instruction. There will be glitches as this is the first run through…let Kim know when you come across them. 6

10. Promising Practices Share Out and Discussion Please share a promising practice and/or activity you or your department has done so far this year that you would like to share out. Take away: make a note of the promising practice shared out today that most gave you the “hmmm….I think we could do that at our school or I could do that with my classes….moment.” Bonus: send the teacher who shared the promising practice that got you to think a “kudos” email. 9

11. Middle and High School Meet Up Please meet with you’re your middle/high school counterparts and discuss curriculum strategies. Discuss ways your two programs can work together and or get better in sync to help support student achievement of standards based instruction.

Take Away: Leave the discussion with a plan for improved skill development for at least one skill point for 7 th /9 th and one skill point for 8 th /10 th grade.
