Gorwitz

Gorwitz, a middle school physical education teacher, outlines a program of planning, activity, technology, and collaboration with colleagues, administrators, volunteers, parents, and community members for middle school physical education teachers to use to help children build healthy habits. She draws from her experiences creating such a program to show teachers how to apply each of the elements to assessments, sample unit plans for lifestyle activities like backpacking and disc golf, fitness warm-up activities, using heart rate monitors and pedometers, and in after-school, summer, and staff wellness programs.
