Heidi’s Approach & Insights
Heidi shared her philosophy, approach, and how PLT4M plays a role in her program. Here’s what she had to say:
Goals & Mission
“My hope is that my students will love fitness and wellness as I do—but in reality, I hope to give them a positive experience with fitness and provide a variety of tools they can pick and choose from as they embark on their own wellness journey.”
How I Use PLT4M
“I use PLT4M in all of my classes in one way or another.
I love that it can be used with a whole class when introducing a new skill, and I can also build my own programs to meet the specific needs and goals of my students.
The short instructional videos are key, and the ease of students adding data makes it possible for all students to track progress and see their own individual results.”
Why I Use PLT4M
“PLT4M is like having a teaching assistant in every class.
The variety of lessons, resources, videos, and tools are extremely helpful in meeting the varying needs of students in my classes.
It doesn’t do my job for me, but it is a great addition and helps support instruction in meaningful ways.”
Impact on My Program
“PLT4M has so much to offer.
The variety of units, resources, Builder tool, Class View, and questions built directly into lessons help support understanding and assessment while keeping students engaged and accountable.”
Favorite Feature
“The Builder tool and Rack View.”
