New HS PE 1 Curriculum

Grades 8-10

PHYSICAL EDUCATION I (HS Graduating credit)

Grades 8-10 Students will develop knowledge of fitness benefits and principles; self-management, self-assessment, and goal setting skills to help students develop their own personal fitness plan. Physical Education I is specifically designed to help students become better independent decision makers relative to their fitness and exercise habits. This course implements the adopted text book, Fitness For Life to supplement the curriculum, and uses the Ohio Department of Education Evaluation as a guide for the standards, benchmarks and rubrics. Length of course can be completed by having students attend one period per day for one semester up to everyday for the entire school year, (60 hours at a minimum for the ¼ HS graduating credit).
