KEY IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL PHYSICAL EDUCATION:

Students will perform basic motor and manipulative skills. They will attain competency in a wide variety of physical activities and proficiency in a few select complex motor and sports activities.

Students will demonstrate responsible personal and social behavior while engaged in physical activity. They will understand that physical activity provides the opportunity for enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and communication. Students will be able to identify safety hazards and react effectively to ensure a safe and positive environment.

Students will be aware of and be able to access opportunities available to them within their community to engage in physical activity. They will be informed consumers and be able to evaluate facilities and programs. Students will also be aware of some career options in the field of physical fitness and sports.
