ISBE PE Standards & Curriculum Alignment

Example 1: STATE GOAL 19

“Acquire movement and motor skills and understand concepts necessary to engage in moderate to vigorous Physical activity.”

With PLT4M, Illinois schools adopt a fitness-focused curriculum that supports the complete Physical development of students.

For example, at Carbondale High school the Physical education department introduces students to basic foundational movement concepts so that they can participate in weightlifting. DeAndre Smith explains how they ensure every student gets a chance to explore these opportunities,

“During freshmen PE, students can get a taste of the weight room for the first time, eventually leading them to different options for the rest of their high school career….When we added PLT4M, we saw a clear roadmap for success. It makes us efficient and effective when assigning workouts, teaching new movements, tracking progress, and motivating people to work hard.”
