Meeting with SACS liaison Dr. Rudy Jackson Must have measurable outcomes Student Learning Outcomes Must determine cohort group PEAC 225 Must track cohort over time to determine that student learning has occurred Must have data coming in by 2016 to present in the 5th year report
Ways to Implement Change According to Dr. Thom McKenzie there are three ways to increase physical activity behaviors: 1. Individual intervention (One-by-one) 2. Creating positive environment for physical activity 3. Policy changes (T. L. McKenzie, lecture, February 10, 2011)
And those who would be workers together with God must strive for perfection of every organ of the body and quality of the mind. True education is the preparation of the physical, mental, and moral powers for the performance of every duty; it is the training of body, mind, and soul for divine service. This is the education that will endure unto eternal life. Christ s Object Lessons, p. 330
