PE Course
Description:
·
The
primary goals of our physical education program is for students to develop the skills
(Do), knowledge (Know), and confidence (Do/ Know) necessary to
enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity; plus prevent
obesity, which can lead to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and/or stroke.
· Through a core
curriculum, based on California “Physical Education Content Standards” and
“Common Core Standards”, students will become “Physically Literate” through
engagement, exploration, and discussion of the following learning targets: purpose, focus on real learning, transfer
of learning, real life application, and critical thinking. Students will also participate in a variety
of assessed activities which are specifically designed to measure evidence
of student learning from both a formative and summative
method whereby student performance data will be used to differentiate
instruction, and thereby, personalize learning.
·
Ultimately,
students will be evaluated in the “FitnessGram” assessment – a complete battery
of health-related fitness items. And
finally, students will demonstrate competency by applying their mastery
of skills and knowledge to the creation of their own personalized health
plans.
