Fitness Knowledge Goal Document
Student Learning Goal & Objective (SLO)
Professional Growth & Educator Evaluation Portfolio • Physical Education & Health
2026–2027 Academic Year
Status: Formal Submission
Course Name Personal Fitness & Wellness
Target Grade Level Grades 9–12 (Elective)
Cohort Size 76 Students (3 Sections)
Content Standard SHAPE America Std. 3 & 4
1. Baseline Diagnostic & Rationale
On September 8, 2026, all 76 enrolled students completed a 35-item Baseline Fitness Literacy Diagnostic measuring foundational knowledge of the FITT formula, cardiovascular training zones, and exercise prescription design.
Class Average Score 38.4%
Proficient (≥75%) at Entry 4 of 76 (5.2%)
Critical Need Area HR Zones & Program Math
2. Formal SMART Learning Goal Statement
"By May 14, 2027, 100% of enrolled students will demonstrate measurable academic growth on the Comprehensive Fitness Science Assessment, with at least 85% achieving mastery (80% or higher) in applying the FITT principle, calculating and interpreting target heart rate training zones, and constructing an evidence-based SMART personal workout prescription."
S • Specific FITT formula, Tanaka HR zone formulas, and personal training program design.
M • Measurable Pre/post standardized 100-pt written exam + 6-week fitness portfolio rubric.
A • Attainable Differentiated tiered growth targets accounting for diverse incoming readiness.
R • Relevant Equips students with lifelong self-directed exercise prescription skills.
T • Time-Bound 36-week academic school year with quarterly formative milestone checks.
3. Core Fitness Knowledge Domains
1
FITT Formula & Principles
Mastery of Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type across cardiorespiratory, muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility.
- Progression, Overload, & Specificity
- Reversibility and recovery dynamics
2
Heart Rate & Training Zones
Physiological principles of cardiorespiratory endurance, energy systems, and intensity tracking.
- Resting HR, Max HR, and Karvonen method
- 5 Physiological Zones (Warm-up to Anaerobic)
3
SMART Fitness Prescription
Synthesis of personal physiological assessment data into a self-directed, progressive fitness program.
- SMART target alignment & benchmark dates
- Formative logging and bi-weekly adjustments

Evaluation Cycle: Year 2026–2027
4. Differentiated Student Growth Targets (Success Criteria)
Tiered Growth Model
| Baseline Tier | Pre-Test Diagnostic Score | Enrolled Students | Individual Target Post-Score | Expected Mastery Rate |
|---|
| Tier 1: Intensive | 0% – 39% (Novice) | 42 students (55%) | +40 pts OR achieve ≥75% | 100% achieve target |
| Tier 2: Developing | 40% – 69% (Foundational) | 26 students (34%) | +25 pts OR achieve ≥85% | 100% achieve target |
| Tier 3: Advanced | 70% – 100% (Proficient) | 8 students (11%) | Achieve ≥92% (Exemplary) | 100% achieve target |
Exceeds Goal ≥90% of students meet or exceed tiered target
Met Goal (Proficient) 80% – 89% meet or exceed tiered target
Developing 65% – 79% meet or exceed tiered target
Unsatisfactory <65% meet or exceed tiered target
5. Assessment Architecture & Evidence of Learning
Formative Progress Monitoring
- Bi-weekly Pulse & Zone Logs: Real-time HR monitor analysis correlating perceived exertion (RPE) to Target Zone calculations.
- FITT Case Scenario Tickets: Monthly troubleshooting prompts modifying flawed training programs.
- Mid-Year Milestone Exam (Jan 2027): 40-item written and calculation assessment.
Summative Culminating Measures
- Standardized Post-Assessment (60 pts): Standardized departmental exam testing physiological principles, zones, and variables.
- Personal Fitness Blueprint (40 pts): Standardized portfolio where students design, justify, and monitor a 6-week SMART exercise regimen.
6. Evidence-Based Instructional Action Steps
Kinesthetic Labs
Bridging theory to practice by requiring students to calculate target heart rates prior to workouts and verifying zones using telemetry and radial pulse checks.
Differentiated Scaffolding
Tier 1 students utilize interactive formula graphic organizers and guided case models; Tier 3 students formulate multi-phase periodized athlete training models.
Data Conferencing
Structured 1-on-1 student fitness goal conferences every 6 weeks to analyze workout logs, evaluate plateau points, and adjust FITT variables.
