The Physical Education component of a coordinated school health program is a planned, sequential K-12 curriculum that provides cognitive content and learning experiences in a variety of activity themes such as: basic movement skills; physical fitness; rhythms and dance; games; team, dual, and individual sport development; tumbling and gymnastics; and aquatics. Quality physical education should promote, through a variety of planned physical activities, each student’s optimum physical, mental, emotional, and social development, and should promote activities and sports that students enjoy and can pursue throughout their lives. Qualified teachers who have been trained to teach the subject should teach physical education. |
