- 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...."
- 3.1.1 The physical education curriculum has an obvious scope and sequence, based on goals and objectives that are appropriate for all students and that are derived from national or state standards.
- 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.
- Revisit content throughout the year.

UNPACKING STANDARDS
Standards and student learning outcomes are often comprehensive. After reading each Standard/Outcome, ask yourself “What do my students need to know and be able to do to meet this Standard/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.
STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND DOMAINS OF LEARNING
Below are examples of student learning outcomes for the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains of learning. The purpose of the taxonomies below are to make it easier to sequence learning tasks in a logical order of difficulty. For more information see our Domains of Learning and Writing Learning Objectives page.
