Fundamental Movement Skills Assessment

The purpose of the Fundamental Movement Skills Assessment is to help teachers gather data on the developmental level of a student's fundamental movement skills and use that information to plan for instruction. Through purposeful repetition and application students will develop competence and confidence in their movement. Students with mature movement skills are able to participate in a variety of physical activities in multiple environments and are empowered to lead active healthy lifestyles.
