Child Physical Fitness
A news segment on TV the other day informed me of the sessions related to physical education in the schools. Many years ago as a teacher and physical educator, I developed a summary of the Teaching Activity Package System.
I believe this approach to the critical need to expand physical education is the solution you folks are looking for. As you will discover that it is almost cost free while developing fitness and appreciation of a large variety recreation/fitness activities. I have copied this description from my Personal Assisted Learning manual for your use. My hope is that it will be copied and shared with others that are active in upgrading our school/fitness results.
From my perspective, this program does not need to be part of the “no child left behind” act. It could be presented to schools as a solution to this health need of fitness, including the elimination of trans fats. In the program I utilized about 30 years ago, I used the national AAPHER test, part of the President’s Council On Fitness. Students were tested for fitness levels at the beginning and end of each school year. The Council offered awards for achieving various levels of fitness. As this program was offered, the fitness level of all students increased, many awards were given, and the students came to know staff members while developing a wide range of skills.
