COURSE DESCRIPTION:

What does a Standard’s Based Curriculum look like in the physical education classroom? This course was designed to assist K-12 educators to understand, develop and create their standards-based curriculum.

After exploring the definition and purpose of a standards-based curriculum, this course will begin designing a standards-based PE curriculum by developing goals based on sound philosophy and reflecting a teacher’s own beliefs and values.

During this course, participants will also explore assessment and the importance of documenting how PE students progress toward achieving the standards. When taking this course, you will learn how to provide all students with opportunities to achieve their learning goals through challenging and motivating choices.
