K-12 Health and Physical Education Curriculum Guide.

Overview & Synopsis

GRADES OR AGES: K-12. SUBJECT MATTER: Health and physical education. ORGANIZATION AND PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: The guide is divided into four sections: 1) physical and health education--elementary; 2) physical and health education--middle; 3) physical education games--middle school and high school; and 4) health education--high school. Each section is laid out in four columns across two pages. Column headings are concepts, teaching methods and learning activities, resources and evaluation. The guide is mimeographed and loose-leaf bound with a soft cover. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES: General objectives are outlined in an introductory section. Suggested activities are correlated with specific concepts and objectives. Health activities are described in some detail, but physical education activities are merely listed. The health curriculum outlined is not a separate course, but is intended to be integrated into science, physical education, and home economics instruction. INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS: Materials listed are both printed and audiovisual; there is no indication of equipment needed for physical education activities. STUDENT ASSESSMENT: Suggestions for evaluation accompany most groups of activities. These suggestions include teacher-developed oral and written tests and performance tests. (RT)
