WHAT

SCHOOLS

“GOT”

OVER 3

YEARS

We had a planned, sequential equipment and resource plan over the past 3 years based on what PE Teachers told us they wanted.

PEDOMETERS - YEAR 1, 2 AND 3(REPLENISHED THE MALFUNCTIONING, BROKEN AND LOST IN YEARS 2 AND 3)

As a requirement of the grant, we purchased pedometers for all students, and their steps were tracked through 4 testing windows each year. Approx. $50,000

HOPSPORTS - YEAR 1Each District received one of these systems (Sault Schools received 3), which included all items as seen in the picture to the left. We also purchased projectors to go along with the systems for schools that did not have one. Training was provided at Big Bear by one of our own teachers, Greg Chromy, who was familiar with the product.

Approx. $250,000

HOPSPORTS BRAIN BREAKS - YEAR 1In Year 1, as a bonus for purchasing so many HOPSports systems, the company gave classroom teachers access to their Brain Breaks software.

I-PADS - YEAR 1Based on the number of known PE teachers in the region at the time of writing the grant, we budgeted for and purchased 23 I-Pad 3s for PE teachers to incorporate into their classes. Suzy Belonga, Instructional Technologist at the time, conducted trainings with PECRT on how to integrate tech into the PE classroom.

Approx. $8,750

FITNESSGRAM - YEAR 2

We saved money in Year 1, and were able to apply it to purchasing all districts Fitnessgram, an online software that tracked all of the things teachers were testing students on, as well as BMI. It gave teachers the ability to generate and print out reports for students to track their own progress, as well as reports to provide to parents. Fitnessgram is aligned to Presidential Fitness.

Approx. $11,000

SNAG (STARTING NEW AT GOLF) - YEAR 2As another planned expenditure, we purchased all districts (buildings) SNAG Golf. Tutorial training videos were reviewed at PECRT and sent to all PE teachers. There was a practice demo also provided at the Big Bear during a PECRT meeting. Approx.$67,000

YEAR 3 - EQUIPMENT PURCHASED. EQUIPMENT HAD TO FULFILL GAPS IN THE REGIONAL CURRICULUM AND BE ALIGNED TO MICHIGAN PE STANDARDS 3 AND 4

On the next page is a breakdown of dollars spent per school. The PECRT decided not to allocate a dollar amount per student or school. Instead we generated a Google Doc where PECRT teachers entered a list of items schools may need/want. Once the list was completed, we had all PE teachers go into the Google Doc and pick the items and amounts they wanted. We told the teachers that this was their “wish list” and we would do our best to accommodate all requests.

The thinking was that schools would get what they needed and that larger schools would obviously order more, so the allocation would work itself out.

PE CRTThe EUP PE CRT met 7 times each year, with the grant covering sub costs.

• CRT put the regional curriculum through the CDC’s PECAT (Physical Education Curriculum Assessment Tool) to identify gaps in the regional curriculum and created an action plan.

MAHPERD CONVENTION- YEARS 1, 2 AND 3

Each year, we offered all expenses paid (plus sub reimbursement) for 14 PECRT members to attend the MAHPERD Convention. This is a 3 day rich learning opportunity focused on Physical Health. Teachers were asked to bring back what they learned and demo some new skills they thought were particularly useful. Approx. $26,000

EUP PE SUMMER LEARNING SERIES - YEAR 2

In Year 2, we had carry-over funds and chose to put on a summer learning series for teachers. We contracted with the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) and the National Association of Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) to provide a three day conference. National trainers presented around the topics of instruction and assessment. The training was free of charge to PEP PE Teachers, and they were offered a stipend to attend. The training took place at Rudyard Area Schools. Approx. $4,000

SHARING OUR STRENGTHS - YEAR 1, 2 AND 3

Each year, one of our 7 CRT meetings was held at the Big Bear Arena where teachers took turns demonstrating games, strategies and lessons they felt were best practice. The PE teacher from JKL Bahweting was able to secure the use of the Big Bear free of cost for our group!

COORDINATED SCHOOL HEALTH

• Of the 19 local facilitators, most had at least 3 meetings each year

• We also held 3 regional coordinated school health team meetings at the ISD each year

• Facilitators and school teams focused on promoting policy changes around nutrition and physical activity.

• Facilitators were encouraged to take into account all of CSH--not just health ed., physical ed. and nutrition services--but social emotional health, health services, staff wellness, and healthy school environment pieces.

• Facilitators were also the point of contact for pedometer management locally.

• Facilitators led the School Health Index Assessment which needed to be completed.
