Classroom Performance System (CPS) is an interactive audience response game that reinforces program content. Students utilize remotes to answer questions about information that was presented in their lessons. Teachers are given copies of the results to use as guidelines or grades. Some schools may also participate in Kid's Health Kid's Poll questions. These answers are combined with polls from other Health Education Centers by Southern Illinois University and the results are published nationally.
