Curtiss’s Approach & Insights
Curtiss 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 unlock the potential in each student. I want to give them the tools to be successful and help them become self-sufficient.
When students are done with Performance PE, they should have a good understanding of what they can do on their own to improve athletic performance.”
How I Use PLT4M
“I use Builder to prescribe our weightlifting workouts.
Students use Rack View daily so they can follow along with their weights and see video demonstrations.”
Why I Use PLT4M
“PLT4M is a great resource and tool to help our PE classes.
It is user-friendly for both students and teachers. I’m not a technology guy, but I find PLT4M very straightforward.”
Impact on My Program
“The biggest impact is being able to reach large classes, including students who are ELL.
The ability to choose videos to pair with workouts helps all students with their technique.”
Favorite Feature
“Builder.”
