Sauganash Physical Education
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Our physical education program will be sport education and fitness based. Students will learn fundamentals of different sports and fitness throughout the year. Extensive research connects the ability to learn to good health. Healthy minds and bodies are basic to academic success and, in later life, enhance the ability to contribute to a productive work environment.
PROGRAM EXPECTATIONS
1. Students must wear a physical education uniform on PE days. An appropriate uniform includes a Sauganash or Navy T-shirt and navy blue athletic bottoms (shorts or pants).
2. Students must wear athletic footwear. The shoes must have a rubber sole and back.
3. No jewelry.
4. Students will not be allowed to participate if they are not properly equipped.
MEDICAL CONCERNS
All medical notes go to the school office first, and then I will receive photocopies.
If your child must be excused from PE, state law requires a doctor’s note (given to school nurse) with a potential return date.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
A variety of instructional methods will be used in this course to facilitate a productive educational experience for all students. These methods will include but not be limited to, class discussions, lectures, videos, and group teamwork.
PROGRAM PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The National Association of Sport & Physical Education (NASPE) standards are located at www.aahperd.org/naspe
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
The goals and standards for physical development and health foster workplace skills, including identifying short- and long-term goals, utilizing technology, following directions, and working cooperatively with others. Problem solving, communication, responsible decision making, and team-building skills are major emphases as well.
Through comprehensive K-12 physical development and health programs, students will achieve active and healthy lives that will enable them to achieve personal goals and contribute to society.
Applications of Learning
Through Applications of Learning, students demonstrate and deepen their understanding of basic knowledge and skills. These applied learning skills cross academic disciplines and reinforce the important learning of the disciplines. The ability to use these skills will greatly influence students' success in school, in the workplace, and in the community.
Solving Problems
Recognize and investigate problems; formulate and propose solutions supported by reason and evidence.
Physical activity is a catalyst to problem solving. Students learn how to move quickly and decisively in games, how to deal with their opponents in sports, and how to gain advantage and respond to changing situations. In physical development and health, students also learn how to acquire and understand basic health information, assess such information and address health problems.
Communicating
Express and interpret information and ideas.
Physical activity and movement can be a medium of communication. Students learn to observe others, listen, act and react—understanding the intentions of others and making their own intentions clear. Students also need to understand written and oral communications ranging from warning labels to medical advertisements and health-related news reports. They should be able to question and analyze information to help them make individual decisions about good health.
Working on Teams
Learn and contribute productively as individuals and as members of groups.
Students learn to recognize individual strengths, resolve differences and use teamwork as a necessary tool for working with others. Teamwork is also integral to many sports. Sports in turn teach the elements of teamwork in other fields. One overall goal of physical development is to give students the knowledge and skills necessary for working on teams to achieve specific objectives or a common goal.
