Key Understandings

Teacher Insights

1. Applying: Learners can demonstrate the critical elements of the motor skills or knowledge components of the grade-level outcomes in a variety of physical activity environments.

2. Checklist: An assessment and instructional tool that evaluates whether individual performance criteria are present or absent. It consists of a list of criterion behaviors, and evaluators simply determine yes, the criterion behavior is not present. This type of assessment does not attempt to determine the quality of the response.

3. Cool-down: A period of light activity following exercise that allows the body to slow down and return to near resting rates.

4. Fitness: The condition of being physically fit and healthy.

5. Fitness activities: Activities with a focus on improving or maintaining fitness that might include yoga, Pilates, resistance training, spinning, running, fitness walking, fitness swimming, kickboxing, cardio-kick, Zumba, and exergaming.

6. FITT Principle: Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type, which are four key ways that activity can be manipulated to create a desired outcome

7. Knowledge of results: Feedback based on the outcome (product) of the movement that occurs after the action is completed (e.g., a basket made or missed). Results indicate the degree of the success of the movement based on the environmental goal of the movement.

8. Stretching: To straighten or extend one's body or a part of one's body to its full length, typically so as to tighten one's muscles or in order to reach something.

9. Warm-up: A period of light activity or gentle skill practice prior to physical exertion and/or motor performance.

• Give demonstrations on the warm-up and cool-down options.

• Physical activities like jogging and sprinting allow students to keep track of their FITT.

• Give students opportunities to practice and improve their fitness goals using the FITT program.

• Allow students to have practice time and demonstration to have a student-led classroom.

• Have the students fill out a fitness assessment to see how their goals can be reached. 

UDL 

Assessment 

• Provide visual diagrams or posters that illustrate the importance of warm-up and cool-down relative to different types of physical activities, highlighting the benefits and potential risks.

• Break down the process of applying FITT principles into smaller, manageable steps, gradually building students' understanding and skills over time.

• Offer personalized feedback and guidance to students as they develop their fitness plans, addressing any misconceptions or difficulties they may encounter along the way.
