Student Powered Fitness
Integration and Training Program
Elementary, Middle, and High School
"Students who may be generally shy and lacking in
leadership skills are able to confidently present,
explain, and share their new fitness expertise with
teachers and peers. It always gives me goosebumps to
watch these kids blossom and shine! Their
leadership, collaborative and social skills
influence everything from their mentoring to their
participation in the classroom"
- Generation FIT Teacher – Redmond, OR, WA
Teachers are over-busy, over-planned and
over the top with things to do every day. We are teachers - we
understand. Generation FIT is designed to create a
powerful support team for you. On-site District-wide training
or a small school group in-service are all available. Contact us for
your customized and economical plan
.
Most traditional professional development models
take teachers out of the classroom to learn new
programs and strategies. Generation FIT™ is
presented as a program that dovetails easily into
the regular classroom environment, is easy for
teachers to master and invites results without
demanding much in the way of teacher time. For a
very small investment of time, and on a very small
budget, a school can:
- Increase the amount of physical
education and exercise in the school day
- Integrate strategies to improve
student focus and academic success, for all students and for
varied learning styles or special needs.
- Create positive behaviors and
improved discipline, respect and responsibility among
students in the program, that carry over throughout the
classroom “culture.”
- Engage students (and their families)
in the learning process
- Create authentic assessment and
collaborative learning opportunities
- Develop respect for peers, and self
and for the differences in skill and aptitude within the
group
- Provide eye tracking, prediction,
anticipation and patterning practice at more than 40
customized skill levels
- Relevant exploration into many topics, some
of which include: physiology, health, aptitudes,
service, reading skills, leadership and the
impact of regular practice.
The Generation FIT™ program is designed to
accomplish a wide range of learning objectives and
improve student learning across the curriculum.
Generation FIT™ trains students with unique
team-building and mentoring skills to help improve
fitness, wellness, leadership, social skills, self esteem and
collaborative rapport among peers and, therefore,
academic success . As the
Generation FIT™ program takes hold in a school, these trained
students (student change agents) work with teachers and their
peers in a variety of fitness-learning related solutions. If
your faculty would enjoy a Wellness Program, check out Gen

Goals and Objectives
The students will use their newly acquired mentoring
and fitness expertise to help the teacher integrate
dozens of 10-minute exercise bouts into the school
day, leading to both fitness and academic success
for all.
The student will provide the expertise, energy, and
time to learn the technology and manage the project.
The teacher will provide the knowledge of education,
class needs, and facilitation to guide the project.
The teacher will learn how to use dance game
technology side-by-side with the student in a
just-in-time fashion and quality aerobic exercise
simultaneously.
The student will learn valuable real world skills –
mentoring, the value of school/community service,
the importance of active movement for both fitness
and mental focus, collaboration, and time management
in addition to the interactive dance video game and
project sharing technology.
