A parent or guardian should affix the pedometer to the child’s clothing after he or she gets dressed each day of the

four-day data collection period other than Day 1. On Day 1, the child’s teacher will assist with affixing the pedometer.

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 4, return the pedometer (and this log, if it is at home) to the school.

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

pedometer, the teacher will help the student note that in the second and third columns of the above table on the

appropriate day. Steps do not need to be tracked or 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 the parent should assist the child in recording steps daily from home on the snow day(s).

Any steps recorded at home on snow days should be sent to school immediately following the snow day for the

teacher to add to this log. 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 four days following the students’ return to school. Therefore, pedometers will still be worn for four

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.
