The Wales, Maine school\u2019s physical education department is being held up as a prime example of what this new kind of education should look like, according to the report. The school has started a class called FLiP, which stands for the Fitness for Life Program. Students take standard health classes, but also spend some PE time in the classroom, where they learn about nutrition, muscles and metabolism. By 10th grade, students design personal fitness plans based on their goals, the report states. Nightingale said it\u2019s impressive to see so many students engaged in physical education, which is rare in high school. \u201cIt certainly seems like their program has figured out a way to address these things with the students and get them engaged,\u201d Nightingale said. \u201cThat\u2019s the goal of physical education, (to) develop what we call physically literate adults.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christopher Nightingale, an assistant professor of physical education and athletic training at the University of Maine, spoke
