The heart of teaching physical education at Grundy Center focuses on empowering students with the ability to make positive and proactive life choices in regards to their own personal health both in the present and future.

Creative class management frameworks are used to ensure a climate of success for all students. Included in these frameworks are innovative teaching protocols and the integration of futuristic/state of the art technology such as heart monitors, fitness assessment software, and automated reporting systems.

This technology, interwoven with the analysis of the visual and objective evidence, provides students and teachers with the ability to track personal and group progress. This information includes retrieval of heart rate data, skill and knowledge assessments, as well as analyzing individual and group fitness assessments. This data allows for essential visual feedback to reinforce concepts taught to the students.

Grundy Center Physical Education is constantly changing and evolving as a result of a commitment to the continual quest for “best practice.” This journey invariably leads to exploring new learning opportunities to capture the imagination and attention of the students. This continuous evolution provides students with the skill-set to invest in and the mind-set to value physical activity and personal health.
