Beep Test Proposal

 

 

 

Participation:

v     Every student (barring medical issues ) must participate

 

v     Proper gym strip is expected

 

Organization:

 

v     Students are broken up into groups of similar ability (student choice )

 

v                             While one group runs the test, other groups are provided

alternative activities in other settings. ( ie fitness rooms, ping pong )

 

v                             Avoids “ running in front of the crowd “ issue

 

Lead- up Activities:

 

v     Various activities: outside runs, 12min runs, fitness stations, skipping, aerobics need to be incorporated in all Phys-Ed classes. ( ie A Fitness Training Plan )

 

Assessment:

v     Used Early in the School Year, Mid – Year and End of the Year

 

v     The beginning effort will be used as a baseline benchmark

 

v     Assessment needs to be based on Physical Effort & Personal Improvement

 

v     Possibly a simple chart could be established for each individual students to note their progress

 

v     A percentage of the letter grade would be based on Improvement and Effort on Test

 

Suggestions:

 

v     Level of Fitness Assessment will take place near the beginning and the end of each Term.

 

v     The beep test can accompany other fitness tests that help determine a student’s fitness development.

 

v     Each PE professional is to determine his/her own class fitness-training schedule, but it should be implemented on a daily basis. ( ie: 15 mins training per class )see attached or see Shaun or Melissa.*Idea* reward the top students in each class for most consistent effort regarding the fitness training for each day.
