2011-2012 Fitness Score Summaries

Are we making a

difference?

Our students average scores meet or exceed the healthy fitness zones on every assessment.

Physical Education Viewpoints

•Creating an Attitude: – This is what we “GET TO

DO TODAY” vs. This is what we “HAVE TO DO TODAY”

•90% of learning occurs in the stretch zone•In traditional physical Education most students are either in their comfort zone or panic zone.

Physical Education Curriculum, Guiding Objectives:

• All students will be lifelong learners, to facilitate this we (teachers) need to address why each curriculum unit is presented and how to extend participation beyond the class.

• All curriculum units presented will be lifetime in nature and emphasis physical fitness.

• We will attempt to expose students to many different activities.  Every student may not enjoy every activity but if each student finds a few activities to participate in for a lifetime we have accomplished our number one goal.

• We will employ the “Challenge by Choice” approach allowing students to participate at their own individual levels.

NAI Course Options

• Regular Physical Education (1/2 time, full year)

• Advanced Physical Education (full time, full year) This physical education and fitness class is for those students that want to

make a serious commitment to their physical well-being.
