About Sonja
Sonja is a Physical Education teacher with 16 years of experience focused on helping students better understand all aspects of health and wellness. She has been using PLT4M since the early stages of implementation in schools and has incorporated it into fitness, wellness, nutrition, recovery, and athletic development within her classes.
Sonja’s Approach & Insights
Sonja shared her philosophy, approach, and how PLT4M plays a role in her program. Here’s what she had to say:
Goals & Mission
“My top goal is to raise awareness around mental, emotional, social, and physical health and wellness.
Teaching students the tools to take care of themselves on every level is something I care deeply about. These are things many of us were never taught growing up, and PLT4M has helped provide a clear structure for what that can look like.”
How I Use PLT4M
“We use PLT4M in our Fit for Life classes to teach students the fundamentals of fitness, movement, and recovery.
We’ve also used the health and wellness resources within our Lifetime Activities classes, including nutrition and overall wellness concepts.
We’ve even introduced PLT4M to our middle school PE teachers and shown how it can be used to build programs and create structure within classes.”
Why I Use PLT4M
“PLT4M is an excellent tool to add to any program, whether it’s sports-based or fitness-based.
I love the structure because it makes things extremely easy no matter where you are in your teaching experience.”
Impact on My Program
“We started using PLT4M before many schools really adopted it, and we’ve found ways to use it across many different aspects of our classes.
From nutrition and wellness to sleep and training programs, it has helped us create more structure and organization throughout our curriculum.”
Favorite Feature
“I definitely love the how-to videos.
I also love that PLT4M tracks weights and progress, and that students can leave notes when modifications are needed while still keeping track of everything.”
