Dimension 3: Assessment Processes

Self Assessment:

 Students assess their own physical ability and set goals based on that assessment. To assist with this, students are required to maintain a calendar that charts their physical active after school. It has worked really well because the students see great deals of progress and are able to set higher expectations / goals for themselves.

They also self-assess their fitness level three times a year.  This process helps tremendously when determining if the student actually sees growth.  The self-assessment benchmark assists the students in determining if their goals were realistic ones, if they need to be adapted and also if they were successfully reached. 

Formal Assessment:

Their fitness level is assessed through the FITNESSGRAM.  This tool measures an individual's muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness.
