Physical Education & Health Specialist
Welcome students to another school year. I am looking forward to starting the 2020-21 school year at South Beauregard High School. I have some interesting activities planned for my students this year. In my P.E. classes I like to have a lot of fun. And yes, most of the time, I will do everything that the students have to do, to make them see that it is not impossible.
Course Description:
Physical Education classes are designed to practice and develop skills in activities that will help students maintain fitness throughout their life. Early in the fall students fitness levels will be assessed in the following areas: cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, muscular strength and muscular endurance. From these assessments we will develop a baseline in which we will use to set personal fitness goals. We will explore fitness activities designed to improve all areas of fitness. Our goal is that by the end of the year students will improve their scores on their baseline fitness tests through regular cardiovascular endurance training, muscular endurance training, and activities designed to increase current levels of fitness. Students will be introduced to life-long activities designed to increase their likelihood of exercising in the future. Students will understand the benefits that regular exercise can provide for a person’s mental, physical, and social health.
Course outline:
· During 9th-11th grade students will:
* Assess personal fitness levels using the President's Challenge Testing Standards
* Set realistic personal fitness goals
* Identify fitness components and understand how those fitness components are essential to a balanced and well rounded fitness plan
* Develop individual skills associated with teamwork, problem solving and leadership.
* Complete fitness testing throughout the year
Possible Activities:
We will no longer be able to play games at this time. Our goals for PE this year, as of now, will be focused on physical fitness and overall health.
Materials needed for this course:
o Students are REQUIRED to be prepared for class each day by having a change of clothes. (As of now, the students are not required to dress out)
(As of now, the locker rooms will not be in use)
o Appropriate clothes include: shorts, t-shirt, sweatshirt, and tennis shoes.
o Failure to dress appropriately will have a negative impact on your grade.
o A change in socks is recommended for those students who have class in the mornings. (Eventhough we are not required to dress, I would recommend a change of socks)
o Personal locks can be used as long as a combination or key is provided to the teacher.
o Personal locks will be cut off if they are misplaced or you forget your combination.
o Please do not plan on sharing a lock or locker with another student.
Textbook and Resources Utilized:
* Google Classroom (app) – students are expected to regularly monitor classroom activities and requirements through class Google Classroom page.
Grading:
Attendance and participation are extremely important in this class. Ten points are earned each day for full participation, positive social interactions/teamwork, and skill development. Overall grading is based upon attendance, participation/effort, preparedness for class, assignments/projects/skills, as well as the demonstration of literacy by meeting the SHAPE America Standards. Students will earn their grade based on individual performance in the following categories:
70% = Preparation and participation
30% = Monitors/Assessments – Students will be graded on cardiovascular assessments and runs. Students will be assessed based upon the President's Challenge standards for each of the fitness tests taken. Students will also be graded based upon demonstration of skills related to the activity or exercise taught.

Our School’s Anti-Bullying Rules:
We will not bully others.
We will try to help students who are bullied.
We will try to include students who are left out.
If we know that somebody is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home.
Cell phones/Electronic Devices:
Cell phones and other electronic devices are NOT to be brought to physical education class, unless directed by the teacher to do so. Electronic devices are NEVER to be used in any locker rooms or restrooms. Failure to comply with this procedure will result in confiscation of the device, in which case the student can pick the device up from the high school office at the end of the school day.
Requirements: Student participation is a must! This is an activity-based class therefore students should expect to be active during the class period. Students should be prepared to openly experience new activities. Remember to be safe, responsible, respectful and to have fun!
"You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise." ---Micheal Jordan
