Knowledge of Weight Training
	No Criteria Met 0 pts	Poor 1 pts	Did Not Meet Standard 2 pts	Meets Standard 3 pts	Exceeds Standard 4 pts
Application of Skills and Safety	No Criteria Met	Poor Students select an inappropriate exercise (free weights or weight machines) to match the assigned muscle group and/or make major errors in weight selection, form/technique and/or equipment management resulting in consistently incorrect and ineffective performance. Students need direction and/or supervision to safely complete the activity.	Did Not Meet Standard Students select appropriate exercise (free weights or weight machines) to match the assigned muscle group, but make major errors in weight selection, form/technique and/or equipment management. Students need assistance to effectively complete the activity.	Meets Standard Using free weights or weight machines, students select the appropriate exercise to match the assigned muscle group. Students select proper weight but demonstrate minor errors in technique (e.g., positioning, alignment, grip, breathing, tempo/rhythm, optimal range of motion) and/or minor errors in proper equipment management when loading, securing, and unloading free weights or a machine.	Exceeds Standard Using free weights, students select the appropriate exercise to match the assigned muscle group. Students select proper weight and demonstrate correct skill with few, if any, observable errors in technique (e.g., positioning, alignment, grip, breathing, tempo/rhythm, optimal range of motion). Students demonstrate proper equipment management when loading, securing, and unloading free weights.

Students demonstrate proper equipment management.
Application of Skills & Safety	No Criteria Met	Poor Students fail to spot partner and/or are distracted or distract others during the lift. Students need direction and/or supervision to safely complete the task	Did Not Meet Standard Students demonstrate spotting skills with major errors in technique. Spotters may provide inconsistent spotting, show a lack of attention, lead partner with equipment management, and/or over-spot resulting in ineffective performance. Students may need assistance to safely complete the task.	Meets Standard Using free weights or weight machines, students demonstrate spotting skills (hand and body position) with minor errors. Spotters remain attentive throughout the exercise, follow weight facility safety procedures correctly and maintain a safe environment during the exercise.	Exceeds Standard Using free weights, students demonstrate effective spotting skills (hand and body position) with no observable errors in technique. Students remain constantly attentive and provide verbal support (compliments and encouragements) to the lifter. Spotters follow weight facility safety procedures correctly and maintain a safe environment during the exercise. Spotters assist (not lead) their partners with proper equipment management and do not "over-spot."
Personal/Social Responsibili&Safety	No Criteria Met	Poor Students lack self-control and/or need reminders and encouragement from others to participate in a safe, energetic, and/or respectful manner.	Did Not Meet Standard Students participate safely demonstrating self-control and respect for others but are inconsistent in energy.	Meets Standard Students participate energetically and safely demonstrating self-control and respect for others.	Exceeds Standard Students participate with high intensity, self-direction, and attention to detail, both in the activity and in completing the Personal Exercise Data Card. Students participate energetically and safely demonstrating self-control and respect for the positive and safe experience of others. Students challenge themselves and others to high levels of performance.
