Physical Education - 9

Standard A

Students will exhibit a physically active lifestyle
Rationale:
The intent of this standard is to establish patterns of regular participation in meaningful physical activity. This standard connects what is done in physical education classes with the lives of students outside of physical education. Activities, games, and sports provide for healthful relief from stress and an enjoyable use of leisure time. Positive experiences in these activities provide motivation to develop and maintain a healthy, physically active lifestyle.

Benchmark
A.12.1 Participate regularly in health-enhancing fitness activities such as games, sports, dance, outdoor pursuits, and other physical activities that contribute to the maintenance of wellness, independent of class requirements

A.12.2 Understand the ways in which personal characteristics, performance styles, and activity preferences will change over the life span

Standard C
Students will apply concepts and principles of movement to the learning and development of physical skills

Rationale:
The intent of this standard is for the student to understand and apply concepts of physical movement, training, and sports psychology that affect physical performance. Knowledge and application of these concepts enhance the likelihood of independent learning and, therefore, more regular and effective participation in physical activity.

Benchmark

C.12.3 Integrate discipline-specific knowledge to enable the independent learning of movement skills

Standard D
Students will understand that physical activity provides opportunities for enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and social interaction

Rationale:
The intent of this standard is to develop the awareness that physical activity provides positive internal benefits. Physical activity offers opportunities for positive self-expression, social interaction, group membership, and meeting challenges. All of these activities encourage students to continue lifelong personal enjoyment of physical activities.

Benchmark
D.12.1 Derive pleasure from participating in physical activities in competitive and recreational settings which reflects personal interests

D.12.3 Recognize the strengths and weaknesses of teammates and provide opportunities for everyone to enjoy success within skill limitations

D.12.4 Enter competition or activity voluntarily

Standard F
Students will demonstrate responsible personal and social behavior in physical-activity settings

Rationale:
The intent of this standard is for students to demonstrate responsible social behaviors that promote personal and group success in physical activity. Social responsibilities include attention to safe practices, rules, and procedures; etiquette; cooperation; teamwork; ethics; and respectful, positive social interaction.

Benchmark
F.12.1  Apply rules, procedures, sportsmanship and etiquette in all physical-activity settings
F.12.2 Act independently of peer pressure
F.12.3 Defuse potential conflicts by communicating with other participants
F.12.4 Keep in perspective the importance of winning and losing relative to other established goals of participation
F.12.5 Take appropriate leadership or supportive roles in activities
F.12.6 Create a safe environment for their own skill practice and group activities

Standard G
Students will demonstrate understanding and respect for differences among people in physical-activity settings

Rationale:
The intent of this standard is the development of the student's respect and appreciation for individual similarities and differences through positive interaction between participants in physical activity. Similarities and differences may include physical ability, culture, ethnicity, physical characteristics (such as strength, size, and shape), gender, race, and socio-economic status.

Benchmark

G.12.5 Recognize how participation in physical activity influences appreciation for people of both genders, varying cultures and ethnic groups, and those with various levels of physical ability or disability
