Here is how to log in to Google Classroom:

Hello and welcome to Physical Education!  I'm so excited to get to spend this year with you.  I have been teaching Physical Education for the last 21 years and I am a strong advocate for eduucation and physical fitness.  I currently teaching PEI, PEII, and Sports/Fitness Training Classes.  Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to a successful life.  In my spare time, I love hanging out with my family, working out, going to the movies, and relaxing. 

 

The State Board of Education (SBE) designated the FITNESSGRAM® as the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) for students in California public schools. The FITNESSGRAM® is a comprehensive, health-related physical fitness battery developed by The Cooper Institute. The primary goal of the FITNESSGRAM® is to assist students in establishing lifetime habits of regular physical activity.

 

The PFT provides information that can be used by (1) students to assess and plan personal fitness programs; (2) teachers to design the curriculum for physical education programs; and (3) parents and guardians to understand their children’s fitness levels. This program also provides results that are used to monitor changes in the physical fitness of California students. By law (Education Code Section 60800), all school districts in California are required to administer the PFT annually to all students in grades five, seven, and nine.

The FITNESSGRAM® is composed of the following six fitness areas, with a number of test options provided for most areas: 

Aerobic Capacity

• PACER (Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run)

• One-Mile Run

Abdominal Strength and Endurance

• Curl-Up

Upper Body Strength and Endurance

• Push-Up

• Modified Pull-Up

• Flexed-Arm Hang

Body Composition

• Body Mass Index

Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility

• Trunk Lift

Flexibility

• Back-Saver Sit and Reach

• Shoulder Stretch

The FITNESSGRAM® uses objective criteria to evaluate performance for each fitness area (e.g., body composition, abdominal strength, and endurance). The Cooper Institute established these criteria using current research and expert opinions. These criteria represent a level of fitness that offers some protection against the diseases associated with physical inactivity.
