2021 College and Career-Ready Physical Education Standards

The South Carolina College and Career-Ready Standards for Physical Education Proficiency 2021 presents a framework for the development of realistic and achievable expectations for student performance in kindergarten through high school. Students gain the skills, abilities, and knowledge required in an area of study, along with those necessary to be successful in college, career and civic life. Proficiency-based learning is designed to provide equitable learning opportunities for every student. In contrast to traditional systems, proficiency-based learning does not advance students based on seat time. Instead, in a proficiency-based classroom, students’ progress as they demonstrate mastery of skills, abilities, and knowledge. Students’ progress toward proficiency at different rates and time, and at similar ages can demonstrate varying proficiency levels. The South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for Physical Education 2021 outlines the standard and indicator proficiency progression rather than the specific grade level. Teachers have the opportunity to identify and differentiate learning for all learners based on the students’ proficiency range. This document describes the learning goals a learner should demonstrate at three levels of proficiency.
