enchmarks.shtml
Traditional Fitnessgram (California’s benchmark test to
waive out of PE) ~ 38th percentile. Failure = “at risk of
sedentary lifestyle disease”. Does not mean student is fit
or healthy if pass at 38th percentile.
National Fitness Award = 50th percentile for all 5
categories.
Presidential Fitness Award at or above 85th percentile for
all 5 categories.
Awards include patches and/or certificates. Ideas how to
receive funding for awards?

Promising Practices Share Out and
Discussion

your department has done so far this year that you would
like to share out.
• Take away: make a note of the promising practice shared
out today that most gave you the “hmmm….I think we
could do that at our school or I could do that with my
classes….moment.”
• Bonus: send the teacher who shared the promising
practice that got you to think a “kudos” email.
