Fitness Testing Reporting Spreadsheet Hacks
The final version of the Illinois-specific FREE fitness testing reporting spreadsheet is available at the Illinois State Board of Education's
Enhanced P.E. webpage
(under Quick Links, file name: IL Physical Fitness Assessment Data Collection Template).
We've been getting lots of questions from P.E. teachers across the state on how to use the free Illinois reporting Excel spreadsheet and wanted to share some of those answers/tips:
- Make sure to save the spreadsheet on your computer after your download it. If you simply download and start working on it without saving it to a specific place, it will be difficult to retrieve when you close out of it.
- When you open it, a bar may appear at the top with a button to Enable Editing. You must click that button for the spreadsheet to function properly.
- Review the instructions on tab 1 (for the reporting grades: 5,7, & 10) and tab 2 (all other grades).
- This spreadsheet will automatically calculate your students' zone statuses (HFZ or NI zones). Put the student scores in the colored "Assessment" column for the corresponding fitness component/test and the zone status will automatically populate in the white "Results" columns.
