Physical Education is an academic subject that provides opportunities for students to learn the knowledge and skills needed to establish and maintain physically active lifestyles. A quality PE program provides learning opportunities, appropriate instruction, meaningful and challenging content for all children.
The four content standards for physical education are:
Movement Forms: Use motor skills and movement patterns to perform a variety of physical activities
Cognitive Concepts: Understand movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities
Active Lifestyle: Participate regularly in physical activity
Physical Fitness: Know ways to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness
Credible, research-backed PE lesson and unit plans.
Built around SHAPE National Standards for Physical Education, this comprehensive curriculum is designed to teach students through activities they enjoy and want to learn.
This is a FREE to access resource (create username and password). All lessons and modules are aligned with the National PE Standards so some re-alignment is necessary as Hawaii DOE is currently utilizing Hawaii Content and Performance Standards in Physical Education (HCPS III PE).
There are a number of modules/units for each grade cluster, (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) and the activities provide opportunities to maximize engagement and also incorporate SEL concepts and vocabulary. Most modules (if not all) have a student self assessment worksheet and also a holistic rubric. Also don't forget to check out the curriculum maps.
