problem statement: rough draft
My problem of practice is to figure out a way to share and track fitness scores with the entire school district. The users will be physical education teachers from the three schools in the district. The audience will be the students who will be able to see their scores and see their growth over the years.
Currently, scores are kept in folders and are not shared with students or other schools. We don't really do anything with the results. Putting them in a database that can be shared with other teachers and with the students will allow both to use the data. Teachers can create new lessons that focus on the areas of fitness where a majority of the students struggle. The students can reflect on their past scores and make personal goals at the beginning of each year.
This is a problem that can be solved by creating a database by using technology. I think one of the major root causes of not having one set up now is because some teachers in the district are leery of using new technologies. I believe that steps such as periodic professional development on using the database and collaborating with the physical department as a whole, will help transition teachers into using this database.
