What are you being graded on in Physical Education? 

Grades 6-8

Daily Performance Grade: (60% of the Quarter Grade)

The majority of a student’s grade is derived from their daily active participation in the classroom setting. For this reason, students need to actively participate in all class activities to earn credit towards the performance portion of their grade. In order to participate, students need to be dressed appropriately for physical activity, including athletic clothing and footwear. Students can then maximize their daily grade through active participation, engagement in skill development, and demonstration of appropriate social behaviors (respect, sportsmanship, etc.).

Performance Assessment/Progression of Skills: (20% of the Quarter Grade)

A portion of the quarter grade is based on a performance assessment of particular skills that are covered during the quarter. Points are accumulated from multiple in-class experiences. Rating scales, rubrics, checklists, questioning, and surveys will be some of the tools used in the assessment process.

Personal Fitness Assignments/ Cognitive Assessment of Skills: (20% of the Quarter Grade)

This portion of the quarter grade is based on the total points of quizzes, assignments, tests, and projects. These may take place in class or as homework assignments outside of class.  Quizzes, assignments, tests, and projects are unique to each quarter and the grading is developed for each of these by the individual teacher.
