Measurement:

At the start of the program, we will create a profile for each student which includes but may not be limited to a student’s level of physical fitness, grades, extracurricular activities, diet choices, average amount of time spent watching television, and school attendance records. This will provide a baseline for measuring each student’s progress during the program. At the end of each cycle, we will evaluate each student’s progress against his/her baseline as well as their performance on group projects. We will work with the students and parents to support incremental growth as they progress through our program.
