PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDE

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.
