Physical Education Program
(Djackson@scuc.txed.net)
**Texas requires you to have 1 credits of Physical Education to graduate.
Philosophy:
As Physical Educators in the SCUCISD, it is our belief that personal fitness courses in high school education should prepare students to develop, experience, and adopt the behaviors they will need for a lifetime of healthy, active living.
Strong and consistent research shows that low level of physical activity in adults is associated with increasing risk for chronic diseases and premature death. The promotion of physical activity in children and adolescents is based on the belief that active adolescents will most likely become active adults. U. S. Surgeon Generals’ Office released official statements encouraging all Americans to adopt active lifestyles as a primary health care prevention.
Our Physical Education courses will provide opportunities for the student to learn about personal fitness, successfully experience personal fitness, assess their own changes in personal fitness, and at the same time enjoy the process.
Other courses in the curriculum, Physical Education 2, 3, & 4, will support the concepts presented in the personal fitness course. This will allow students to experience a variety of lifetime activity options. (Ex. Individual sports, team sports and intramurals) These courses may also include written and physical evaluations. (Fitness Gram test)
Evaluation and Grading System:
P.E. 2, 3, & 4:
- Active Participation (dress-out properly, participate everyday)
- Fitness Gram Test/Physical Fitness Test during each unit.
Daily Grade: 5 days a week x 20pts a day= 100
4 days a week x 25 pts a day =100
3 days a week x 33.33 pts a day =100
2 days a week x 50 pts a day =100
1 day a week x100 pts a day =100
**Students receive a weekly grade.
**High School: A final exam will be given each eighteen weeks. Your final examination grade will make up at least 20% of your eighteen weeks grade. All students are required to take a Foundations/Physical Education Final. There are NO exemptions for finals.
**Fitness Gram is given to every student receiving a PE credit.
Daily preparation for class
- All students must dress-out everyday without exception! If a student does not feel well, or has a minor injury, he/she must first dress -out and then may make a request for limited participation from the instructor. The instructor may grant or deny this request based on his/her best judgment.
- Students who do not dress-out will not be allowed to participate and will receive a deduction from their participation grade. You are required to bring paper and pen to do sport folios.
- **Parents may write an excuse for a student from participating on a day to day basis. Please add parents contact information on note. Only a written excuse from a doctor stating the nature of the disability and the duration of student will be excusable grounds for not dressing-out or participating for more than three days. Expect to have paper and pencil to do sport folios. (Articles with a test)
