Every day, students will participate in a variety of physical activities specific to the unit and skills the lesson is designed to improve upon. Throughout the class period, the teacher will use observation and verbal feedback to emphasize skills individual students will need to enhance to improve their overall standard score.

 

Students will be assessed daily on standards 3,4, and 5. These can be summed up as- 3-participation, 4- responsibility and respect, 5- value. These daily scores are summative assessments that will affect student grades. Standards 1-understanding of a skill and 2- understanding of the use of a skill, will be assessed in each unit with a specific assessment either physical or written.
