Description

To be able to use pedometers in the PE class as an assessment tool.

Success of Program

When we were able to use the pedometers in the past, we saw students excited to "test" the technology.  They were trying to beat their own steps rom the day before or try to beat their friends.  Students also understood their own personal caloric intake and nutritional needs better once they saw how much energy they were expelling on a daily basis.

Implementation

Students check out the pedometers for a week to monitor the number of steps they are taking on average a day.  The set assess their own results and set goals to improve their own level of physical activity.

Can you share this grant with your grade level or subject team?

This is one way our PLC can have a common assessment tool and compare our kids based on their individual activity level.
