Re: Improving FitnessGram scores

For the curl up portion I just measure strips and cut them out of poster board. I have the students practice with a partner report their score to me (I walk to each student) and switch positions. I play the cadence CD on the overhead speakers. We practice several times. I tell the students I will change their score if they improve from the last time. This encourages students to do better especially if they had a bad score or day. I also tell the students I will write down the score I see if they are not completing the curl up correctly. It is the educators job to demonstrate the curl up correctly.
