Physical
Education:
A planned, sequential K-12 curriculum that provides cognitive content and
learning experiences in a variety of activity areas such as basic movement
skills; physical fitness; rhythms and dance; games; team, dual, and
individual sports; tumbling and gymnastics; and aquatics. Quality physical
education should promote, through a variety of planned physical activities,
each student's optimum physical, mental, emotional, and social development,
and should promote activities and sports that all students enjoy and can
pursue throughout their lives. Qualified, trained teachers teach physical
activity.
