Prior to the pandemic, I
would get the students
out to play games
(depending on the unit). I
would observe how the
students moved, and see
who had more skill/less
skill. I would then group
those students together,
and those students would
practice with each other
for the remaining lessons
in the unit. Those
students that had more
skill would also be asked
to teach other students
with less skill, and they
would be separated in
different groups. I felt like
this was a great way to
use pre-assessment, and I
would use formative
assessments by
continuing to observe
and take notes on how

the students progressed.
The summative
assessment would
include a rubric where a
student would show that
they are able to teach and
demonstrate a particular
skill. (9/19/20)

I have started to use more
surveys since we are in
the remote environment,
and I have also put in
questions for the
students to rate the
workout or exercises that
was shown to them.
Because there is a wide
variety of skill/fitness
level, it has been
challenging to show the
students exercises that
would challenge all of
them. What I have done
to help fix that is to give
the students different

In our department
meetings, we are
constantly in touch with
each other about students
that could be struggling
or having difficulties at
home (especially during
the pandemic). Our
administration also keeps
tabs on students as well.
From in person learning,
the data we use from the
assessments such as
fitness testing also assists
in how often we need to
incorporate muscle

and cardiovascular

I use data from the initial
fitness testing to get
students to work on
setting their fitness goals.
I try to meet with each
student to discuss ways
they can achieve their
goals, and it is also a way
for me to get to know
them a little more. Being
in quarantine does have a

that I am able to connect

While discussing with
students about setting
their goals, I also show
them how they can
monitor their progress by
continuing to use self-
reflection when it comes
to performing exercises. I
ask them to log down
what they do each week
with a fitness log, and I
make comments about
how much activity they
are doing. This provides a
way for me to check in
with them and it also
keeps them accountable
for them to continue with
exercising, and to adjust
to make it more
challenging. 9/19/20

Because they are using

their fitness logs and also
answering the surveys,
the students can track
and share what they’ve
done over time. They can
actually see the results of
the progress if they are
committed to the
workouts and keeping up
with fitness. I also plan on
having the students to
record themselves so
they can submit videos of
them performing various
exercises, so they can
make sure to have the

As mentioned with the
surveys and their fitness
logs, it is a great way to
monitor and track their
progress over time.
Including the different
modifications and other
suggestions, the students
are encouraged to create
their own workouts for
themselves and other
people once the trimester
is finished. They can
share this with their
families. I actually
encourage our students
to involve their families
