Student Assesments

  • My physical education curriculum is based on SHAPE America, “Society of Health and Physical Educators” which are the National Standards for K-12 Physical Education. Throughout the year, my PE classes focus on the fundamentals of movement, striking, throwing, catching, jumping, kicking, running, agility, balance, and coordination and special awareness, through standard based games and activities. In addition, students will focus on their fitness and personal and Social Responsibility (PSR). Throughout the year, students will work on their fitness levels and perform the Fitness Gram tests in the spring, which measures their cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance. In addition, we will focus on Personal and Social Responsibility (PSR). This is a big part of PE, therefore students will be assessed through the PSR levels daily. At the end of class, we talk about how they though did performed.
