More Than a Scoreboard: Assessment Strategies for Team-Oriented PE

Elevate your assessment game and capture the full picture of student success in team settings. This dynamic session blends SHAPE America’s National Physical Education Standards with the Socio-Cultural Curriculum model (JOPERD, 2023) to help you authentically assess teamwork, communication, leadership, and inclusion alongside physical skills. Through hands-on examples, you’ll explore peer and self-assessment tools, observation checklists, and performance rubrics that make learning visible and celebrate every student’s contributions.

Whether you teach elementary, middle, or high school PE, you’ll leave ready to: 1) Integrate SEL skills seamlessly into physical activity assessments; 2) Promote equity and inclusion in team-oriented learning environments; and 3) Motivate students by recognizing their social, emotional, and physical growth. Join us to transform assessment into a powerful tool for engagement, connection, and lifelong skills -- on and off the court.
