Secondary Physical Education Grading

VVS Secondary Physical Education Philosophy on Education and Grading:

The Physical Education Program at the Middle & High School offers a wide variety of activities and units.

Emphasis is placed upon the individual student to put forth his/her best effort at all times.

Daily In-Class Rubric:

Each Secondary Phys Ed. School Lesson is worth a total of 10 points.

  • Standard 1 - Participation/Skill (Competency in a variety of motor skills and patterns)

  • Standard 2 - Knowledge (Understanding game rules and regulations, tactics, strategy, safety)

  • Standard 3 - Fitness (Knowledge of and participation in warm-ups, stretches, strength training, endurance, etc.)

  • Standard 4 - Social Interaction (Respect, Sportsmanship, Cooperation, Acceptance, Ethics)

  • Standard 5 - Application/Value (Changing for class, understanding how physical activity improves the quality of life, etc.)

Each category is worth 2 points per lesson:

2 - Meeting the standard

1 - Progressing toward the standard

0 - Not Meeting the standard

Additional Assessments:

Specific Psychomotor and/or Cognitive Assessments may be administered by the Physical Education Staff; Elective Specific. These assessments will be given a specific weight for each marking period. (ex: Badminton Rules Test = 3% of MP... Therefore, 97% would be based on Daily Rubric Above). As additional assessments are given, the daily value is reduced; however, the lowest the daily value could ever reach is 75%.

** Note - The Required Physical Fitness Assessment is worth 15% of students' 2nd MP Grade. This assessment is an annual assessment measuring a variety of Health-Related Physical Fitness Categories - Cardio-Respiratory Endurance, Flexibility, Speed, Muscular Strength, and Muscular Endurance. Students scores are based on their respective gender/class and then students are 'percent-ranked' for each category assessment; finally, an average of all the assessments is calculated to determine their annual physical fitness score. Report Cards will have a comment regarding the Fitness Assessment Results. If a student does not complete a portion of the assessment, then the entire 15% will be deducted from their grade - PE teachers provide ample time for make-ups and re-tests. Medical Excuses do not negatively affect a students grade based on the fitness assessment.

CLASS MAKEUP PROTOCOL

Each student is allowed up to (3) excused absences; which includes medical appointments, music lessons, field trips, illness, etc. Any additional absences, whether excused or unexcused, MUST be remediated if students would like credit for their missed class. Please contact your teacher to make up your missed classes.

** Note - Class Cuts = Automatic NO Credit & No Remediation


This resets every Marking Period.
