PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDE

MADISON PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Introduction

The Curriculum Renewal Process addresses the need for the continual improvement and/or updating of the schools' instructional programs through the periodic reexamination of curriculum. The process is recursive and includes fourteen steps to be completed over multiple years.

The physical education subject area committee as of December 2008 completed the first ten steps of curriculum revision. After review of the curriculum by the district-wide curriculum council, the Superintendent of Schools and the Board of Education, Implementation and annual Program Monitoring and Evaluation are the next steps.

As a result of careful study, the physical education committee has ensured that the revised curriculum is in alignment with the national standards developed for physical education. (The National Standards can be found in the Appendix of the Madison Physical Education Curriculum Guide.) Although the language in the Madison Public Schools' curriculum guide is not exactly the same as the language in the national standards' document, the content of the goals and the outcomes reflects the content contained within the national standards and their corresponding benchmarks.

The Physical Education teachers examined several curriculum guides from schools districts within the state as well as the most recent Connecticut State Department of Education framework publication. The articulation of the guide's goals and objectives across grade levels has been examined carefully and has been achieved to the satisfaction of the physical education subject area committee charged with the development of the guide. The committee believes that the Madison Public School System has developed a quality physical education program that is planned, ongoing, and systematic.

Structure of the Guide

The guide is organized into six (6) sections. This overview section provides direction for understanding the contents of the guide.

The Components and Framework section provides a description of the program components, as well as a description of the vision for physical education, the mission statement, philosophy, goals, and the big ideas of Understanding by Design.

The Scope and Sequence section states the scope (breadth and depth) of subject content and sequence (order of presentation) to master physical education with understanding ? to acquire knowledge and skill for performance. It is the overall logic for learning: a design that is back loaded from expected performances; application of the content based on clear performance goals; and a sequence that enables learning and then proficient performing. Objectives have been identified for single grade levels and / or for courses. Objectives for learners introduced at earlier grade levels may not be restated at later grade levels, even though periodic reinforcement is necessary. The curriculum facilitates learning content incrementally, progressing by tackling increasingly complicated aspects and skills of proficient performance.

The Program Implementation: Guidelines and Strategies section provides guidelines and strategies for implementing the curriculum described in the preceding sections of the guide. This section of the curriculum guide describes instructional delivery, requirements for effective instruction, instructional time, instructional technology, student support, and professional growth.

The Program Monitoring and Evaluation section provides guidelines and procedures for assessing the overall effectiveness of the curriculum program. The Curriculum Improvement Plan Worksheet, is included so that as teachers incorporate new units and courses highlighting the standards and corresponding benchmark proficiency for the grade levels the quality of the curriculum is maintained.

The Program Resources and Materials section includes web links, glossary and Safety Guidelines. Also included are the works consulted in developing the guide.

The Appendices follow and include references to Physical Education Department Policies, the Third Generation Connecticut Physical Fitness Assessment manual, the National Standards for Physical Education, the Curriculum Mapping for Physical Education, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. (21st Century Skills Framework provided the foundation to insure that the physical education learning was current and appropriate to the needs of the 21st century.)

Intent and Acknowledgments

The physical education program in the Madison School District promotes educational programs that stimulate and guide the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development of all students in the Madison community, including those with special needs. Physical education, like other academic educational programs, has been undergoing continual revision. The opportunity for more leisure time activity and the development of the importance of physical conditioning has become of value in our society. The Madison Schools' physical education curriculum provides students opportunities to experience cooperation as a member of a group or as a member of a team observing the rules of fair play and the advantages of good sportsmanship. It also offers opportunities to develop self-control and respect for the rights of others. The physical education curriculum can provide a means of fulfilling the needs, which our changing society has created.

The curriculum offers students a wide variety of opportunities to gain the knowledge of and proficiency in the basic skills, exercises and activities used for body maintenance and the pursuit of leisure time activities. The aim is to allow each individual to gain an understanding of the human body and to be motivated to maintain its healthful efficiency.
