PE Standards Based Grading

We are moving towards Standards Based grading in Physical Education this year.

In the past, we graded on a daily participation grade, and then we applied the standards to the units as we were doing them.

Each day in PE class we will be looking for one of the five PE standards.
Standard 1 - which is based in Movement Skills
Standard 2 - which is based in Enhancing Skills and Performance
Standard 3 - which is based in using physical activity to enhance fitness.
Standard 4 - which is based in responsible behavior in a PE setting.
Standard 5 - which is based on opportunities provided by physical activity.

We will be using specific Indicators under each of the five general Content Standards to evaluate.

Grading for each day will be as follows:

A - Advanced - 100%
B - Proficient - 92%
C - Basic - 85%
D - Below Basic - 78 %
F - Failing - 72%
