Planning Physical Education Units


Changing the "Culture of Games": "...​This "culture of games" exists in our physical education history and will exist in our physical education futures unless we are prepared to acknowledge that it exists and take steps to create better physical education experiences for our students...."​
K-12 ROAD MAP FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The Diamond Conceptual Framework helps illustrate the progression of skills and concepts taught in physical education, which are guided by national and state standards and research on physical activity and physical education. While we believe this is a useful framework, we acknowledge that there are other philosophies that can also achieve quality physical education.

  • 3.1.2 The physical educator includes motor skill development, physiological and biomechanical concepts, health-enhancing physical activities that lead to a physically active lifestyle, and opportunities to develop appropriate social behaviors.

  • 3.1.3 Instruction follows a scope and sequence that is designed to scaffold prior learning and develop mature forms of skills and strategies.

  • 3.1.4 Teachers design progressions that allow students to build on previously learned content and skills, by focusing on lifetime activities.

UNPACKING STANDARDS
​Standards and student learning outcomes are often comprehensive. After reading each Standard and/or Learning Outcome, ask yourself “What do my students need to know and be able to do to meet this Standard or Outcome?” The table below shows how many student learning outcomes can be created from one Psychomotor Standard. Find more information on unpacking standards from The Physical Educator.
