ASSESSMENTS / GRADING

Our assessments and grading are based on the Michigan grade level content expectations (GLCEs). Students in PE are graded on responsibility, participation, behavior, skill proficiency, and effort. Students in Health are graded on responsibility, participation, behavior, knowledge of content, and effort. In Health, students in grades 3-8 will be given in-class assignments. Students in grades 6-8 will also be given written tests at the end of each unit to assess knowledge of health content, and PE skills and sport. Students in grades 3-8 will complete journal writing assignments as a part of their student PE/Health assessment portfolio.

Students will be exposed to a variety of assessments during the school year. Formative assessment is an assessment that occurs throughout the instructional unit, the intent being that work on the same skill or topic will continue, and thus lead to improvement. Since this is continual, it allows students to receive information about their ongoing progress and allows the PE/Health teacher to assess the effectiveness of their instruction. Summative assessment is a form a assessment that takes place at the end of instruction and measures the degree to which instruction objectives have been achieved. Information collected compares student performance to predetermined standards or class performance and is usually used for assigning student grades. Formal assessment is assessment that is standardized and conducted in isolation. Typically summative and formal assessment often involves the use of skill tests, written tests, fitness tests, win-loss records, performance records, and so on. Authentic assessment is an informal assessment in which students apply previously learned skills and knowledge in context. Assessing student strategies and problem solving during a game and having students plan a fitness-program or choreograph a dance are examples of authentic assessment. And last, but not least we will also use performance assessment. This is an informal assessment that focuses on performance. This type of assessment usually involves the use of a checklist, rating scale, or rubric to measure the presence, degree, or quality of critical elements in a motor skill.

GRADING POLICY

In PE/health education classes, students will be graded daily on a 4 points per day rubric using specific criteria. Grades 5-8 may also have written classroom assignments, short quizzes, or unit exams, which will be graded on a separate points basis and will be included as part of their PE/Health grade.
