Over the course of several semesters, the department has collected exemplar lesson plans and assessments from student teachers. At present, the total number of lessons and assessments is 4342. The data will be reviewed by the faculty member. Once the project is completed, the best-practice activities will be posted to my website (http://thenewPE.com) for the benefit of any majors here and practicing health and physical education teachers. Prior to the start of the project, the student worker(s) would be trained in terms of the criteria for inclusion of activities in the data set.

Additionally, they will be able to cite a valuable work experience on their resume few peers will have.
