PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDELINES K-8

 

SALEM-KEIZER STUDENT GOALS

·        develop positive self concept, respect for others, and healthy behavior patterns

·        work effectively in groups as well as individually

 

The physical education curriculum provides a framework based on the premise that the quality and the productivity of each individual life can be enhanced through participation in a comprehensive, sequential physical education system that promotes physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being.  Physical education provides the opportunity for a student to become physically educated.

 

The physically educated person is one who has learned motor and self-management skills necessary to perform a variety of physical activities, knows the implication of and the benefits of physical fitness, participates regularly in physical activity, and understands that all are intimately related to an individual’s health, physical, and social well-being.

 

 

Physical Education Curriculum Standards (Complies with Oregon Department of Education Content Standards)

 

1.      MOVEMENT: Develop efficient skills and knowledge to express physical movement in a variety of    situations.

2.      PHYSICAL FITNESS: Develop fitness and knowledge that enables students to understand healthy, effective personal fitness behaviors.

3.      SELF-MANAGEMENT: Recognize and develop appropriate self-management skills by working independently and with others during planned physical activity.

 

Physical Education is arranged into three strands.  They incorporate both the content and application.  The three strands are:       

 

·        Movement

·        Physical Fitness

·        Self-Management

 

The three strands are meant to be woven throughout the benchmarks.
