The student should affix the pedometer to his/her clothing when getting dressed at the beginning of Day 1. This will ensure

that pedometer captures steps for as close to a full day as possible every day.

DO NOT submerge pedometer in water (ex. bathing, swimming).

Each night the pedometer should be removed before bedtime. Each morning following a day the child wore the pedometer,

the child’s teacher will assist the child with recording the step count in school. This will occur at the same time each morning of

the data collection period. Once the day’s step count has been recorded, the teacher will ensure the pedometer is reset to

zero steps and re-affixed to the child’s clothing, and the next day of step counting will begin. This process will ensure that the

pedometer captures steps for as close to a full day as possible every day.

On the next school day after Day 7, return the pedometer to the school.

If the student is sick and absent from school on one or more days when he or she is supposed to be wearing the pedometer,

note that in the Number of Steps and Time and Date columns in the table above on the appropriate day. Steps do not need to

be recorded when the student is absent due to sickness, although the student may elect to do so.

If there is a snow day during the data collection period, the student should continue to wear the pedometer as originally

instructed and continue recording steps daily on the snow day(s). If there is a snow day on the day pedometers were

scheduled to be distributed, pedometers will be distributed the first day students return to school, and the data collection

schedule will be shifted to include the seven days following the students’ return to school. Therefore, pedometers will still be

worn for seven consecutive days, even if a snow day occurs, regardless of when that snow day occurs.

This tool is modeled after the sample log distributed by the US Department of Education in December 2010.
