Physical Education Goals:• The purpose of physical education is to develop physically literate students-

students who acquire the knowledge, process, skills, and confidence needed to make healthy and engage in meaningful physical activity both in the present and for a lifetime. As a result of physical education instruction, the student will be able to:

• Acquire, apply, and evaluate movement concepts and strategies to respond confidently, competently, and creatively in a variety of physical activity settings.

• Access, evaluate, and synthesize health-related information to protect, enhance, and advocate for health, well-being, safety, and participation in physical activity across a lifespan.

• Enjoy and engage in regular movement-based learning experiences and understand and appreciate their significance to personal, social, cultural, and environmental health practices and outcomes.

Physical Education Strands:

The content of the Standards of Learning for physical education is organized around the following five essential strands of health and physical development and application:

•Motor Skill Development•Anatomical Basis of Movement•Fitness Planning•Social Development•Energy Balance

The combination of these five goals leads students toward being able to lead an active, healthy lifestyle skillfully, knowledgeably, responsibly, and vigorously.
