Course Overview
In Middle School physical education classes skill development, teamwork, individual and team sports, problem-solving, and fitness activities are emphasized. The class provides the students with many varied and success-oriented programs in a positive environment. The units, which include developmental skills, activities, lead-up games, and official games, will help the students maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout their lives. The curriculum also allows the students to incorporate basic rules, safety procedures, game strategies, and respect for oneself and others into their daily lives. Other goals of the curriculum are to help the students further develop their thinking and communication skills, apply knowledge, and acquire the capacity and motivation for life-long learning. Most importantly the curriculum is to help the students develop character, physical and emotional wellness, and to develop into responsible and prepared individuals. Students are grades on three different domain components: affective, cognitive, and psychomotor.
