Expectations

 

Physical Education classes take place in a physical and socially interactive environment (gymnasium or outside)  I hope that the PE experience will be a positive, enjoyable and educational for my students. The following four basic values will help you to become successful in class and in life.

ü    Respect for others

ü    Respect for self

ü    Respect for learning

ü    Respect for the environment

 

I expect students to:

ü    come prepared for class,

ü    Listen to directions and instructions

ü    Cooperate with others

ü    Participate with a positive effort and attitude

ü    Do your best

 

If you are sick or unable to participate in Physical Education class , please present the excuse/email from the parent/guardian at the beginning of the PE class. Student with medical excuse from a doctor will be excused from participating in PE classes for long term. Other wise, I expect all students  to fully participate in PE classes to their best ability.

Assessment and Evaluation

                Physical Education is a balanced educational program for the development of the physical, social and mental aspects of our students. The program follows our Provincial Educational GCO’s : 

 

Knowing: Through participation in physical education activities, students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of sport rules. training procedures and sport/game safety.

Doing: Through participation in physical education activities, students will attempt to accomplish the set outcomes for that class to the best of their abilities.

Valuing: Through participation in physical education activities, students will attempt to make appropriate choices and set goals for themselves

Assessment and evaluation of students will take place every class through informal observation, and at specific times throughout each unit. Each student will be assessed on the new Physical Education curricular outcomes, which were released in September 2015.
