Decision-Making and Goal-Setting Station Rotation for PE
A 45-50 minute physical education lesson and classwork packet for middle schoolers that teaches the DECIDE decision-making model and SMART personal health goals through a warm-up, direct instruction, a four-station rotation, and a reflective cool-down. Students practice applying the steps to real health choices while building goal-setting and self-monitoring skills, with the CDC's 60-minute daily activity guideline as the baseline for their goals.
“I need a lesson plan along with a class work assignet for 6-7-8 grade pe class that covers decsion making process and setting personal helath goals”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a single 45-50 minute PE block: 5 minutes for the barriers-to-activity warm-up, 10 minutes of direct instruction on DECIDE and SMART goals, 25 minutes for the station rotation (about 5-6 minutes per station), and 5 minutes for reflection and share-out.
- Discussion question: Which step of the DECIDE model do you find hardest to complete honestly, and why? Follow-up: What is one barrier that might keep you from reaching your activity goal, and how could you plan around it?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a printed DECIDE acronym card and a fill-in SMART goal template with sentence starters, and pair students with a partner for station discussions.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to track their MVPA over a week, compare it to the 60-minute CDC target, and revise their SMART goal based on the data.
- Plan roughly 45-50 minutes total, and collect the completed classwork sheet at the end of the period or assign it as homework.
