I was wondering if anyone thinks it’s fair and why to grade a student on their performance on a mile run. I think this was unfair because not everyone is going to be able to get a great time in the mile, and not everyone is an athlete that takes a physical education class. |

You can grade on HR monitors if you use them. Or Grade them on completing it without walking, even if it's a 15 minute mile (if you grade this way, make sure to gradually build their distance before running the mile). Or grade on improvement if you have them run it two or more times. There are pros and cons to each. Maybe grading is motivating to some, discouraging to others. |

Please read my thoughts on grading posted 1/24! I think the most important area to grade the students is on their physical health skills. How healthy are they? If we start evaluating them in the elementary schools maybe by the time they are in the high school they will realize the importance of being healthy for life. I teach at the high school level and we have healthy standards for the mile run. The students with the most efficient cardiovascular systems will receive an A, then a B, then a C and the lowest grade would be a c-. No D's or F's! We also grade on how hard they work by using the heart rate monitors. 180 heart rate ave for the work out would be an A. 170 HRA would be a B . 160 HRA a C and below that would be a C-.
I think it is fair and puts a little emphasis on being healthy for life.

Is it okay to encourage the very unfit to have a HR higher than 180 during the mile? Just wondering, I've always graded simply on being in the zone, with the idea to stay in that zone. |

I have found that the unfit student finds it easier to get their heart rate above 180 then the more fit students. They are very happy to get an A for their effort in running the mile despite a time of 15 minutes. They say the more intense is the work out the more efficient your cardiovascular system becomes. |
