- I can create or co-create a specific, achievable goal and success criteria for a project or task. I can create or co-create a feasible plan (e.g., stages, tasks, assignees, time estimates, due dates) that accounts for task/project constraints and resources needed. When working with others, I can demonstrate care for various preferences, needs, and/or strengths to help us each contribute and work well together. When available, I can try using digital tools (e.g., scheduling communications and feedback, sharing work) to follow a plan and help reach a goal.
Project-specific:- I can create or co-create a goal with success criteria (what “progress” will look like for me) and a feasible plan that accounts for community resources (e.g., YMCA/Parks & Recreation spaces)
- I can demonstrate appropriate techniques by stating form-focused cues and using movement concepts (like force/rotation) to help me improve how I perform exercises safely.

Project-specific:- With guidance, I can stop to check in with myself or my partners about how the two-week strength plan is going and whether I am getting the intended practice (e.g., energy, focus, effort, recovery)
- If I/we get stuck or distracted, I can ask for help or follow a provided suggestion to get moving again.
|
- I can stop to check in with myself or my partners about how it’s going (e.g., Am I stuck? Do I need anything? Am I closer to my goal?). If I/we get stuck or distracted, I can come up with some ideas about how to move forward (e.g., ask for help, start over, use a new tool).
Project-specific:- I can stop to check in with myself or my partners about how I’m progressing toward my strength and safety goals (e.g., noticing when form breaks or recovery feels off)
- If I/we get stuck or distracted, I can try a few next-step options (like using a different variation, adjusting rest time, or asking for specific feedback) to move forward.
|
- I can pause to check in on progress and practice positive self-talk and/or encouragement of my team or partner. If I/we get stuck or distracted, I/we can identify the cause of the issue and try out an idea about how to move forward (e.g., change the approach, adjust the environment, ask for the specific help needed to keep progressing).

Design Solutions
|
Build models, prototypes, or action plans
|
- With guidance, I can share ideas for helping or solving the problem and pick one idea to try. With guidance, I can build a prototype, model, or plan by myself or with others to help create a solution.
Project-specific:- With guidance, I can share at least one idea for creating a safe, minimal-equipment teen strength routine that fits community resources (YMCA or Parks and Recreation) and is aligned to my fitness goal
- With support, I can build a simple draft action plan (e.g., list of exercises and days) for testing over a short period.
|
- I can come up with a list of possible solutions or ways to help. I can select one idea from the list that I am most interested in testing out or trying. By myself or with others, I can build a prototype, model, or plan to test my idea that helps people, animals, and/or the natural world.
Project-specific:- I can generate a list of practical physical-activity options (minimal equipment, independent or low-support) that could help me improve full-body strength, stability, and recovery
- I can select one idea and build a testable prototype action plan with clear exercise choices, basic technique cues, and a plan for how I will track my performance and recovery.
|
- I can generate a list of possible solutions and/or actions from practical to seemingly impossible. I can select one idea that is testable: I can realistically prototype it because I have considered design criteria and constraints (e.g., time, resources, specialized knowledge, or skills) and some potential impacts of my idea on people, animals, and/or the natural world. I can build a prototype, model, or action plan that meets most or all of my design criteria.
Project-specific:- I can create a wider set of feasible action steps for a two-week strength plan that meet design constraints (time, equipment limits, safety) and consider impacts on my health
- I can build an improved action plan that includes safe progression (sets/reps or intensity), rest/recovery practices, and simple movement principles to explain how form affects performance and injury prevention.
|
- I can use diverse strategies (e.g., mapping, visualizing, scenario-building) to come up with a wide range of possible solutions or actions. I can select one testable idea that also considers ethical factors (e.g., fairness, harm, benefit) and, if applicable, community strengths and assets. I can build a prototype, model, or action plan that meets my design criteria and constraints and draws on additional research or mentorship support as needed.
Project-specific:- I can use strategies like mapping and scenario-building to develop multiple solution options and choose one that also considers ethical factors (e.g., safe practice, inclusivity, avoiding harm) and community strengths (what the YMCA/Parks site can realistically support)
- I can build an action plan that includes specific exercise technique components (flexibility, cardiovascular warm-up, strength/endurance), and I can justify selections using movement concepts and body-system effects (exercise, nutrition, rest).
|
- I can use diverse strategies to come up with a wide range of possible solutions or actions. I can select several ideas to test with input from multiple stakeholders while attending to my design criteria, constraints, ethical factors, and, if applicable, community strengths and assets. I can build prototypes, models, or action plans that meet my design criteria and constraints, integrate input from those most impacted, and enable me to test, study, and/or iterate my design.
Project-specific:- I can develop several plan variations to test and iterate based on input from multiple stakeholders (e.g., peers, teacher, community partner) while meeting my design criteria, constraints, and safety/ethical considerations
- I can build prototypes/models of my final two-week routine that integrate feedback, include clear progression and recovery targets, and specify how I will adjust the plan based on collected data.
|
- I can use and lead others through idea generation processes and strategies to generate a wide range of possible solutions or actions. I can select several ideas to test with input from multiple stakeholders while attending to my design criteria and constraints as well as ethical, legal, and cultural considerations. I can build prototypes, models, or action plans that meet my design criteria and constraints and enable me to test or study different variables that impact the design and its potential efficacy/impact.
Project-specific:- I can lead and refine an idea-generation process with others to compare and study different variables in my strength plan (e.g., progression method, exercise selection, rest timing) while considering ethical, legal, and cultural considerations for teen fitness
- I can build and defend a model action plan that is ready for community testing, includes precise technique standards and movement-principle explanations, and shows how I will adjust the plan based on evidence and stakeholder feedback.
