This is an excerpt from FitnessGram Administration Manual 5th Edition With Web Resource by The Cooper Institute.
It is extremely important that students understand why they are taking part in the FitnessGram assessment. This understanding entails teaching what the FitnessGram assessment measures and why it holds value. Knowledge of the benefits of fitness (or negative consequences of a lack of fitness) associated with particular aspects of fitness is just as important as the score received in the assessment. Educators can find excellent activities for helping children learn health-related fitness concepts in the Physical Best activity guides offered by SHAPE America (2011a, 2011b).
Students also need to be taught the proper protocols for each assessment. To account for the fact that students learn in many different ways, physical education teachers should do the following for each assessment item.
On test day prior to beginning the assessment, take time to review the protocol to ensure proper form and technique for each assessment.
During the assessment, students may become anxious for a variety of reasons. For instance, they may feel nervous because they are participating in an assessment or because other students are watching them perform. They may also feel stressed if they know that they are unable to meet the Healthy Fitness Zone or if they have had a negative experience with fitness testing. Physical education teachers must be mindful of such concerns when assessing each student; here are some guidelines.
Never have the whole class or even a few students watch one student perform the assessment unless the student volunteers to provide a demonstration.
When students complete a fitness assessment in a particular component, they should be reminded of the meaning of the assessment score; that is, all students should be taught how their score relates to their fitness level. Fortunately, fitness education provides an opportunity for teachers to help students go beyond the score. Specifically, this is the critical time to set goals and use ActivityGram and ActivityLog to help students work toward their goals and keep accurate logs or journals of their fitness routines. After a period of time for training, students should then have the opportunity to perform the assessment again as a measure of improvement, and their goals should be revised as necessary on an ongoing basis. Upon graduation, students should have learned to assess their own fitness, analyze the data, develop fitness plans, and, ultimately, motivate themselves to remain physically active for a lifetime (SHAPE America 2014).
Fitness assessment can also provide creative opportunities outside of physical education. For example, students might write an article for the school newspaper promoting fitness or create a video to be aired during the morning announcements exploring the benefits of healthy eating. Of course, the ultimate objective of a physical education program is to teach students the physical and behavioral skills necessary to be physically active for life. Communicating this message in a wide variety of ways is the best way for students to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions for success.
According to a position statement issued by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE, now part of SHAPE America), students should not be graded on the basis of their fitness level (SHAPE America 2009). Physical education teachers can, however, provide grades for students in many other areas related to fitness. Here are three options to consider:
Quizzing students (e.g., giving knowledge tests) about cognitive concepts associated with health-related fitness

Eleven people survived the Jan. 18 disaster in the Gran Sasso national park, including four children who were extracted from under tonnes of snow and debris on Friday.
The woman’s body was recovered on Monday afternoon, bringing the confirmed death toll to seven and the number missing to around 22. Rescuers were still working to extract a body located on Sunday, the national fire brigade said.
Melting snow revealed overturned cars, and one rescuer squeezed through a tiny hole cut in the concrete roof of the Hotel Rigopiano in search of any survivors, video footage showed.
“We are working on the theory that the avalanche did not necessarily hit or destroy every room and that we haven’t yet reached the heart of the structure,” fire brigade spokesman Luca Cari said.
Rescuers broke into smiles when they plucked three seven week-old white puppies from the ravaged hotel’s boiler room.
The government has promised to review its emergency response apparatus in the wake of the disaster, and a court in nearby Pescara has opened an investigation.

Italian media published an email sent by the hotel manager on Jan. 18 to an array of local authorities, urging help to clear the roads so guests could escape after powerful earthquakes rattled the region.
“The clients have been terrorized by the tremors,” said the email. However, no help came before the avalanche struck, with local authorities saying that their most powerful snowplough had broken down and they did not have the money to repair it.
Staff operating emergency hotlines did not take seriously early telephone calls reporting the disaster, Quintino Marcella, a local restaurant owner, told local media.
“The operator did not believe me,” said Marcella, who had called for help after one of his employees telephoned from the demolished hotel.
Italian media said the hotel’s owner told emergency services he knew nothing about the avalanche, but the operators were apparently unaware that he was not actually there at the time.
As a result, the rescue operation only got into gear some 2-1/2 hours later, with the first rescue team arriving by ski 11 hours after the catastrophe because the roads were impassable.
Pescara prosecutor Cristina Tedeschini said there probably had been misunderstandings, delays and glitches in communication, but played down their significance.
“If the exchange of information had started 10 days later it would have been very relevant,” she told a news conference.
Waiting nervously at a hospital in Pescara, the father of one man who was in the hotel accused authorities of wrongly telling him his son had been rescued along with his girlfriend.
Alessio Feniello said his son’s girlfriend had been pulled to safety and had told her rescuers that Stefano Feniello, 28, was still inside. “If there was a thread of hope to rescue (my son), there isn’t any hope anymore,” he told reporters.

NATURAL ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) U.S. President Barack Obama arrived in Athens, Greece on Tuesday for his last trip to Europe before handing over power to Donald Trump in January. Obama will discuss the debt issue and the continent's migrant crisis with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, but his visit will also trigger protests by leftist groups and trade unions that have long seen the United States as an "imperialist" power. Greece hopes the visit will increase pressure on its creditors to grant debt relief to an economy shattered by years of recession. The United States and the International Monetary Fund have urged a restructuring of Greece's crippling debt load but face resistance from the European Union, particularly Germany, whose banks would be most exposed to such a move.
Avete in mano il volume centrale delle avventure di Harry Potter, il quarto della serie di sette episodi. È un momento cruciale nella vita di Harry: ormai è un mago adolescente, vuole andarsene dalla casa dei pestiferi Dursley, vuole sognare la Cercatrice del Corvonero per cui ha una cotta tremenda... E poi vuole scoprire quali sono i grandiosi eventi che si terranno a Hogwarts e che riguarderanno altre due scuole di magia e una grande competizione che non si svolge da cento anni. Harry Potter vuole davvero essere un normale mago di quattordici anni. Ma sfortunatamente, Harry non è normale, nemmeno come mago. E stavolta, la differenza può essere fatale. Con questo romanzo J.K. Rowling, arricchisce di un altro prezioso frammento il grandioso mosaico delle avventure di Harry Potter. Ed è forse il frammento più importante, quello in cui l’affresco delle vicende del mondo magico - esilaranti, affascinanti, travolgenti - acquista una luce più complessa e cupa, dove l’infanzia finisce e la maturità e la consapevolezza attendono i suoi protagonisti. In un intreccio di straordinaria potenza, fra draghi e sirene, campioni di Quidditch e giornalisti ficcanaso, la vita di Harry e dei suoi amici giunge a un punto di svolta: dopo questo, niente sarà più come prima.
