Participation in A Case Study In Kansas City
Woodland Elementary, Kansas City Public School
District
"Sportwall is one of components we use to fulfill
our goal of presenting a comprehensive physical education
curriculum to our students. We have never specifically
tracked how much time our students spend using the Sportwall
but our best estimate would be 10-15% of our instructional
time.
We mainly use the Sportwall as a station when we are
doing station work and class relays. Our students absolutely
love the Sportwall. They ask to play on it and the whole
class' s demeanor changes to one of total cooperation
when they know we are going to work with the Sportwall.
If we need to change from another activity to the Sportwall,
we never hear any complaints. We find the Sportwall
can be adapted to almost any skill we are teaching.
We believe the Sportwall is the most motivating piece
of equipment we have in our program!"
"PE4Life has had a tremendous influence on the
lives of our students. It's not just the increased levels
of fitness we are seeing in our kids which has everyone
excited. Students are also more motivated throughout
the day, their enthusiasm is way up, and discipline
issues are way down."
