Chris’s Approach & Insights
Chris shared his philosophy, approach, and how PLT4M plays a role in his program. Here’s what he had to say:
Goals & Mission
“My goal is to get student-athletes to understand how and why their bodies are moving the way they are and what they can do in order to make themselves more successful in the activities they are performing.”
How I Use PLT4M
“I use PLT4M for my weight training classes as well as in my Intro to Physical Education classes for 9th and 10th grade students.
The weight training class uses it on their Chromebooks every class to follow along, and I show it on our Promethean boards for Intro to Physical Education classes.
We use it in the weight room as well as in general physical education classes for racket sports and team sports.”
Why I Use PLT4M
“PLT4M is an awesome program to use with high school students and athletes.
All programs are given electronically, and students can complete the programs individually or in small groups. Their questions can often be answered by watching the videos at their fingertips.
Students can also track their progress over time, which helps them set attainable personal goals.”
Impact on My Program
“The biggest impact PLT4M has had is how easily accessible it is for our classes.
If a student forgets their device, we can easily put them in Rack View and share a device with a classmate, taking away the stress of not having technology available.
I also believe it provides a realistic and appropriate approach to each skill taught throughout the different programs.”
Favorite Feature
“The data analysis and tracking.”
