We will understand the changes to the PFT for 2025, and the expectations for administration and recording student progress for this assessment.
The PFT is part of
CA’s state testing program. CA chose the FITNESSGRAM® as the annual PFT for students in public schools.
The FITNESSGRAM® is a comprehensive
health-related fitness test.
You will know how to administer each of the five required areas, record student progress, and work within a timeframe that supports us all.
