o NASPE/NCATE Standard 2: Growth and Development

▪ Physical education teachers understand how individuals learn and develop and can provide opportunities that support their physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development.

o NASPE/NCATE Standard 3: Diverse Students

▪ Physical education teachers understand how individuals differ in their approaches to learning, and create appropriate instruction adapted to these differences.

o NASPE/NCATE Standard 4: Management and Motivation

▪ Physical education teachers use an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a safe learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.

o NASPE/NCATE Standard 6: Planning and Instruction

▪ Physical education teachers plan and implement a variety of developmentally appropriate instructional strategies to develop physically educated individuals, based on state and national (NASPE K-12) standards.

o NASPE/NCATE Standard 8: Reflection

▪ Physical education teachers are reflective practitioners who evaluate the effects of their actions on others (e.g., students, parents/guardians, fellow professionals), and seek opportunities to grow professionally.

o NASPE/NCATE Standard 9: Technology

▪ Physical education teachers use information technology to enhance learning and to enhance personal and professional productivity.

o NASPE/NCATE Standard 10: Collaboration

▪ Physical education teachers foster relationships with colleagues, parents/guardians, and community agencies to support students’ growth and well-being.

• Goals, objectives and assignments in this class address Virginia Department of Education Health and Physical Education (VDOE HPE) Licensure Standards, specifically:

o VDOE HPE Standard 4.a: Basic understanding of the administration of a health and physical education program, including instruction and assessment.
