As part of the Project ACTIVE (All Children Totally InVolved Exercising) Teacher Training Model Kit, the manual is designed to provide ACTIVE adopters and potential adopters with: a realistic basis for assessing and evaluating the physical and motor proficiency of ambulatory individuals who are mentally retarded, learning disabled, or emotionally disturbed; a normative data base for assessing or evaluating the performance of normal children who manifest motor incoordination or low physical vitality; and step-by-step procedures for establishing school, district, or agency norms. Chapter I provides an introduction to the ACTIVE program. Chapter II includes a description of five motor ability and physical fitness instruments, the general population(s) for whom they are appropriate, the unique diagnostic-prescriptive aspects of each assessment tool, and sample test forms. Chapter III provides reliability and validity information relative to the instruments. Chapter IV gives detailed information regarding the motor ability and physical fitness norms prepared by the ACTIVE office. Chapters V and VI present norms that were established for local school districts in the State of New Jersey and throughout the United States. Chapter VII outlines a simplified procedure for developing school or district norms and explains the procedures for submitting data for conversion to percentiles. Numerous figures and tables are included. (SBH)
