As educators, we are committed to the development and implementation of quality physical education instruction. Moving Into The Future – National Standards for Physical Education, a book developed by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (copyright 2004), should be used as the guide to the delivery of KPBSD physical education programs.

The following content standards in physical education, which identify what a student should know or be able to do, will be applied to instruction at all grade levels.

A physically educated person

1. Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities. (Motor Skills)

2. Demonstrates understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities. (Application)

3. Participates regularly in physical activity. (Active Living)

4. Achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of physical fitness. (Physical Fitness)

5. Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings. (Personal and Social Skills)

6. Values physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction. (Value of Exercise)

Moving Into The Future articulates the content and assessments for each standard at each grade level.
