The Physical and Health Education Teacher Education (PHETE) program in the Department of Kinesiology welcomed students from Stanley Makowski (School #99) and The Falk School yesterday to the Koessler Athletic Center. PHETE majors assessed student fitness levels using the Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE) America’s Fitnessgram Assessment which includes the PACER, Push-Up, Sit and Reach and Curl-Up batteries. Both schools will return in the spring semester for follow-up testing. The experience is enjoyable for the children and allows PHETE majors to conduct fitness assessments in an authentic environment.
