Course Title: Physical Education and Health
Teacher’s Name: Brown
Textbooks/Materials Used: No textbook for this class, Teacher prepared materials
Course Emphasis: The mission of this course is to empower all students to sustain regular, lifelong physical activity as a foundation for a healthy, productive and fulfilling life.
Course Expectations: Students are expected to conform to all policies and standards found within the Excel Academy student handbook. Students are expected to participate in class activities every day. Dressing for P.E. is not required however shorts can be worn under pants as well and a neutral colored tee shirt under your school uniform. If boots or sandals are worn to class the student will automatically be given a score of 2 for the day and is not allowed a make-up day.
Grading: Grading for physical education is split into three parts:
Participation- 60%
Physical Assessments - 20%
Tests and Quizzes- 20%
Daily participation is graded on a four point scale shown in the table below. Physical assessments are graded on the performance of the skill being assessed (ex. If the skill is throwing a ball, does the student follow all skill cues correctly?). Finally, tests and quizzes are graded out of 100 points. The academic grading scale will be used to calculate the final grade.
Academic Grade: Score percentages are not rounded
90%+ A
80% to 90% B
70% to 80% C
60% to 70% D
0% to 50% F
