LESSONS FROM A SUPERSTAR - SPIRIT CHALLENGE WINNERS

On behalf of IHT, thank you and congratulations to all the teachers who submitted your amazing lesson plans and accompanying videos. Every lesson shared how you are delivering a physical education experience that gets students working hard exercising at an elevated heart rate and provides life lessons that positively impact students while delivering standards-based lessons that can be adapted for all ages and abilities. After five weeks and more than 15,000 views and votes for 16 entrants, the judges had the challenging task deciding which of the many deserving lessons are worthy of "superstar" designation. Lessons were judged on how well they demonstrated the three stripes of a superstar lesson. Voting totals served as tiebreakers in the event judges couldn't choose between lessons. Each of the winning lessons receives four IHT Zone wrist heart rate monitors to be used with the IHT Spirit Mobile app, gear from IHT, and distribution to IHT's world-wide audience in the monthly "Lessons for IHT Spirit" series.
