Implementing Physical Best/FitnessGram Certification Programs into Teacher Preparation Programs
Health and Physical Education teacher preparation programs can easily enhance their curricula by providing future professionals with opportunities to become Certified Physical Best Specialists. This session will provide concrete examples of how various colleges/universities have incorporated Physical Best Specialist Certification trainings into their curricula, and how students have benefited from the trainings. Round table discussions will provide opportunities for additional institution faculty utilizing the Physical Best and FITNESSGRAM training to share their experiences, and for individualized brainstorming regarding how to implement trainings into other curricula settings not addressed during the presentations.
