Physical Literacy is the ability to move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of a whole person.

Physical education (PE) develops the physically literate individual through deliberate practice of well-designed learning tasks that allow for skill acquisition in an instructional climate focused on mastery.

During physical education class, students practice the knowledge and skills they have learned through physical activity (PA), which is defined as any bodily movement that results in energy expenditure.

Health Literacy is the ability to access, understand, appraise, apply and advocate for health information and services in order to maintain or enhance one's own health and the health of others.

The goal of health education is to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to lead healthy lifestyles. A skills-based approach is a best practice for delivering high-quality health education.

Health literacy is an important measure of the effectiveness of health education and is critical to ensuring that students have the ability to be healthy throughout their lives.

Health-literate people are able to address their own health needs along with the needs of others. They are able to obtain and apply knowledge and skills to enhance their own health and the health of others — both now and in the future as their needs change throughout their lives.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) has become a critical component of educating today's youth. In school districts across the

country, SEL is no longer just a classroom lesson but a system-wide framework involving a coordinated

approach in classrooms, schools, communities, and family units.

Research has shown that these efforts can lead to behavioral and academic outcomes including

• • • • • • • • • Positive social behavior

                • Fewer conduct referrals

                • Less emotional distress

                • Improved academic performance

Injured students are required to inform their PE teacher immediately and get a hall pass to the nurse in order to diagnose their

condition. A school accidental injury form must be completed and the parent contacted by the student prior

to the end of PE class.
