5. The overall philosophy of TrainUp is founded on one idea that is of major concern, childhood obesity. It was created
by a local doctor in Rockwall; Dr. Pfliegers’ idea was to incorporate technology into the realm of physical fitness that
offered children an alternative to the traditional form of exercise that is generally only sports related. The field of
physical fitness has only utilized technology in a limited manner to improve health status so this concept is new and
very exciting to think about. What makes this idea so exciting is the fact that physical fitness has never utilized the
concept of virtual biking and interactive games as a form of exercise. As technology continues to expand the
children of this generation continue to advance technologically; and what better way to reach out to the children of
this community by adding technology into their exercise program. The TrainUp philosophy is a wonderful attempt to
change the fate of childhood obesity by offering an alternate solution to the dilemma this county is now facing.
TrainUp mission statement is to enhance the physical fitness of children from the ages of eight to twelve by offering
them a place to go where they can exercise and have fun utilizing the technology they are so accustomed to using on
a daily basis. Health screening is a normal part of the facilities protocol prior to beginning physical activity. The
children can become members in several different ways; most of the children that attend are patients of Dr.
Pflieger, and the parents insurance is billed as preventative care to pay for their participation as a member of
TrainUp. The facility does offer memberships that can be paid for individually and the Rockwall ISD utilizes the facility
for some P.E. In addition to the technological activates offered the facility is also providing wellness classes for the
children and parents, group fitness activities and personal training.
Because of his interaction with the community, Rockwall ISD is attempting to utilize Dr. Pfliegers facility for physical
education classes; however, the use of the facility is somewhat limited right now because the concept is so new. The
relationship that Dr. Pflieger has established with Rockwall ISD is one of total involvement that goes beyond the
influential aspects of being a doctor. He is actively involved in the school and hopes to establish a new system of
physical education classes that can be offered to the school as a normal class schedule. Besides his involvement in
Rockwall IDS he is also extending his services to include; the Boys and Girls Club, Seventh Day Academy in
Mesquite, and the surround communities of Heath, and Forney. The newest change is to purchase additional space so
they can expand the services they currently offer.
6. The expansion of the facility is to purchase additional space that is next door to the building they are currently in.
This additional space will give them an opportunity to include one new service. The new service that will be added is
sports training and conditioning, by adding this service they open a new door that includes those children and teens
that are actively involved in a variety of different sports. Although, the company is growing and their philosophy is
based on the current needs of one community and the ideas of a physician who has firsthand experience with
childhood obesity, a person can’t help but wonder how does all of this fit into the philosophy of the person writing this
narrative?
To help the reader understand the writers’ philosophies and beliefs some past information must be obtained before
answering the above question. As an ESL learner the struggles in those formative elementary years were difficult
ones. Since Spanish was the predominate language spoken in the home learning the English language was quite
confusing. In addition to the language barriers the parents were not equipped to help with homework. The reason for
this inability was because the education level obtained was minimal and never exceeded the junior high level. As a
result education was not considered a priority and the pursuit of higher education beyond high school was never
pursued by the children. How does this tie into the philosophy’s and beliefs of physical education and the belief of
TrainUp?
Philosophies and beliefs are formulated by a person’s past experiences and the changes a person wants to make
happen. These changes are the driving force that creates ideas and help each individual understand the struggles
that children face in today’s society. Because of this need the idea of one man have evolved into a new concept that
stemmed from the staggering number of obese children he sees on a daily bases. The philosophy of helping children
become more active by changing how they view physical activity and modernizing the concept to include technology.
In other words, being physically active doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be in the traditional sense as we know it.
The beliefs and philosophies that TrainUp stands for are the same views of the writer, it’s about change and progress
and the need to address the future generation in a positive way. The concept presented by TrainUp seems to do just
that. With similar philosophies and beliefs, this adult person has chosen a career that is constantly changing and
evolving in ways that are remarkable. Although the future of Physical Education Teachers seems uncertain the need
for qualified individuals will never change. Education is about quality and the traditional aspects of physical education
must progress with the future.
7. In short, the visit to TrainUp had a way of making a person think outside the box in terms of the way Physical
Education is changing. The thought that Physical Education as we know it now could be a way of the past does open
the door for new concepts; but on the other hand it does leave some unanswered questions as well. The past
experience of a person has a lot to do with the philosophy and beliefs they take with them on the journey to becoming
an educator. The ideas and concepts of one person may have an impact on the way teachers teach their students in
the future. Although ideas change things, one concept will never change the Philosophy and belief that all children
deserve the best physical education experience possible.

13. Lesson Plan #2- Healthy Eating and Wellness
Lesson Plan Title: Reading the Label/ Nutrition and Physical Activity Lesson Plan
Age Range: Grade 8 (Middle School)
Overview and Purpose: In this lesson, students will learn how to read a food label. They will have to find information about ingredients, calories, and
nutrition.
Objective: The student will be able to read a food label to find information. Pursues physical activities that promote health-related fitness, relieve tension,
and control weight in both school and nonschool settings
Resources:
One food label per child
Teacher created worksheet
Power Point presentation about food labels (teacher created)
Activities:
Explain food labels using the Power Point presentation. Include information about how to find the serving size, servings per container, recommended daily
allowance, and ingredients. Ask students why they think it would be important to know how to find this information. Pass the food labels and worksheets
out. Have students practice finding the information asked for on the worksheet.
After the lesson has been completed, the teacher will tell the students to write a paragraph summarizing everything they have learned.
The teacher will conclude the lesson by recapping the material that has just been covered in class. She/he will summarize the information verbally,
leaving out important facts along the way so that the students can fill in the blanks as he/she goes.
This lesson is important because understanding the value of eating right and exercising will motivate students to engage in these healthful behaviors.
Healthful living will not only increase the longevity of life, but also improve the quality of life and decrease future medical costs.
Sample worksheet:
1. What is the serving size?
2. What percentage of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C does this food contain?
3. What is the main ingredient?
Wrap Up:
Being able to read a label is an important step towards healthy eating. However, consider discussing with your students what can happen if someone does
it in the extreme.

16. Why is Assessment Important
to Me?
I value assessment because it is an integral part of instruction, as it determines whether or not
the goals of education are being met. Assessment affects decisions about grades, placement,
advancement, instructional needs. Assessment inspires us as teachers to ask these hard
questions: Are we teaching what we think we are teaching? Are students learning what they are
supposed to be learning? Is there a way to teach the subject better? When students are
collaborators in assessment, they develop the habit of self-reflection. They learn the qualities of
good work, how to judge their work against these qualities, how to step back from their work to
assess their own efforts and feelings of accomplishment, and how to set personal goals. These
are qualities of self-directed learners, not passive learners. As teachers we model, guide, and
provide practice in self-assessment, students learn that assessment is not something separate
from learning or something done to them, but a collaboration between teachers and students,
and an integral part of how they learn and improve.
