Re: New Elective class

I'm a HS PE teacher and we came full circle, from allowing choices 10 years ago to a sport model where we went on 3 week units of the majority of popular sports, to a fitness model and back again with allowing students to choose.
Jason and Jessica have good points to consider and I echo the same thoughts. I can tell you that we have had the most luck with putting students in tracks that they create. Team sport, individual sport, fitness, and weight training were made available and the students could choose their classes and the duration of these classes within the semester. After the first year we even allowed them to cross over to other tracks assuming we had the facility and a teacher willing to teach whatever subjects the students preferred.
