A.C.T.I.V.E. Administrator's Guide: Organizational and Administrative Strategies.
Vodola, Thomas M.
Presented is the administrative guide for Project ACTIVE (All Children Totally Involved Exercising) designed to assist school districts or agencies in training educators to organize, conduct, and evaluate individualized-personalized physical education programs for handicapped students, prekindergarten through high school. Chapter I provides the administrator with the justification for adoption, including the program's compliance with state and federal statutes. Included in Chapter II are a brief overview of the ACTIVE program and insight into its exemplary features (competency based teaching and individualized-personalized learning). Chapters III through V provide guidelines for operationalizing the program in three stages: pre-program planning which focuses on the activities that must be completed prior to program installation; program implementation which provides specific guidelines for initiating the diagnostic-prescriptive process within one class, establishing an advisory council and delineating the functions, role expectations, and responsibilities of committee members, and installing the program at the elementary and secondary levels; and post-program activities which stress the importance of evaluation and communication as two viable strategies for engendering school-community support of the program. Appended materials include medical excuse forms; tables reflecting Project ACTIVE supply and equipment needs; the ACTIVE evaluation design; a table on the diagnostic-prescriptive analysis of motor performance; an outline of the course of study; and a list of policies, rules, and regulations.
