Program Description

Grant Writing Template –Fundamental Movement Grant Eligibility: Physical Education curriculum for Preschool and Kdg-grade 2. Physical Activity funding, preschool, and after school programming. Program Overview: This project will utilize the Fundamental Movement Program (FMP) to insure that students have access to and teachers have the skills to deliver a comprehensive physical education program that extends into recess, lunch and after school opportunities, enabling extended practice opportunities in motor, social skills practice, and opportunities for increasing children’s physical activity. Research on the Fundamental Movement Program indicates that children increase motor skills as a result of participating in the program. FMP provides the resources necessary to guide classroom teachers in specific skill focus, including instruction in teaching strategies, sequential introduction of motor skills and movement knowledge enhanced by skills checklists and teaching cues. *Research on the Fundamental Movement Program can be found at : [www.peacefulplaygrounds.com/research.htm](www.peacefulplaygrounds.com/research.htm) I. Needs Statement: Provide school site data that explains the need to implement the (a comprehensive motor skills/physical education. ) program. Identify input forma variety of sources including, but not limited to, students, school personnel, and parents. Indicate how this grant will assist your school in accomplishing prioritized needs. ( School Name) is a school of (\# 0) children in grades K-6. The school is located in a (rural, urban, suburban) neighborhood in the community of (Health, NV) . Childhood obesity rates are soaring throughout the nation and our community is no exception. Currently % of our students are overweight or at risk for becoming overweight according to Student fitness scores reveal that only % of our students demonstrate performance in the “healthy fitness zone” as indicated by the latest state physical fitness testing. Quality daily physical education has been cited as schools’ best approach to prevention and intervention in the childhood obesity crisis. Teachers indicate that they have not received training or curriculum materials for providing quality daily physical education. A consistent curriculum with appropriate teaching materials/equipment for teaching physical education/motor skills is needed. The strategy of “changing the environment rather than changing the individual” has received much notice by researchers looking at an effective intervention for the ever-growing trend toward childhood obesity. Changing the environment (adding markings), in addition to sequential instruction of skills, is strategy that addresses the gaps that we have identified in our current PE coursework. Implementing the FMP will result in increased activity and quality of instruction goals for this grant. The new opportunities for participation, as opposed to watching, will promote healthy physical fitness lifestyles. The program provides for the visual patterning for reinforcing and enhancing instruction in fundamental movement through the use of skipping tracks, galloping tracks, hopping and jumping grids etc. Additional perceptual motor skills are enhanced through the use of the scattered circles in which students are instructed in body-and-space concepts. Bean Bag Toss Grids, Alphabet Grids and other markings provide opportunities for hand-eye coordination activities. As indicated by the above data, the need for intervention is great and the school staff has committed to implementation of the Fundamental Movement Program. II. Goals and Measurable Objectives: Describe the school’s goals to implement a comprehensive school wide (conflict resolution program) .
