PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - PHYSICAL EDUCATION!
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
 At Radcliffe, setting specific goals is a key component for students to be successful. Goal setting has been shown to improve student performance, motivation, and task completion in various academic settings, and in Physical Education, it's no exception. Right now, the Marsh students are working on setting their personal fitness goals using the "S.M.A.R.T." goal method. S.M.A.R.T. goals stand for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time to Complete. After completing their component of fitness testing, students are encouraged to push themselves to set a goal that focuses on the component of fitness they want to strengthen. Over the next few weeks, the students will be working closely with Ms. Armstrong in order to come up with a specific workout plan for them to achieve their goals.
Just another way Radcliffe individualizes instructions to meet the needs of our students, even in Physical Education. Pictured to the left is Paige Holmes, proudly displaying her S.M.A.R.T goal; now she is ready to come up with an action plan!
