Curriculum Design for the New National PE Standards

How can you make your program fit the needs of all your students? The national standards emphasize individual, personal engagement but past curriculum models structured benchmarks so that every kid had to attain the same level of competence. Standardized motor achievement levels proved frustrating for many kids, especially for those who hate sports. Our new, inclusive approach to teaching physical education requires curricular goals that match the intent of the national standards and a new meaning of success. A curriculum that is relatable to all students is the foundation of a successful program that leads students to a healthy and active lifestyle. Teachers and districts are searching for meaningful content that will actually influence students' lives. Let's explore how to make PE relatable to all students, let each kid feel successful, teach important content, and do so in a fun and active way.
