FITNESSGRAM is a standardized test used in many schools and likely the only one where an individual's performance on each test item might be seen by fellow students. It's important to create an emotionally safe environment for all students. Physical Best activities will be adapted to include social skills development and progressions for students and the class. Most examples will be for middle school, but adaptations for high school and elementary will be discussed.
