INTRODUCTION THIS CURRICULUM GUIDE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS

• Next Generation Sunshine State Standards • Suggested Essential Questions and Learning Goals • Unit Vocabulary • Community and training resources to aid lesson planning • CTEM friendly components for instruction

PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE Due to the unique challenges that face middle school PE teachers (multi-grade classes, variable access to equipment and facilities, class volume and school dynamics), this guide provides a set curriculum framework, yet is flexible enough to adjust to specific activities and exercises at the discretion of the teacher.

The main goal of this guide is to provide a professional resource which will allow teachers to validate their methods and techniques while teaching to the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards of which our curriculum is founded. Another goal is to provide teachers with information that correlates with CTEM. Additionally, the guide unifies the district to a common end result while still allowing individual teachers to utilize their strengths, resources, and facilities as they see fit.

HOW TO USE IT Each grade level is represented individually in reflection of the segregated grade levels within the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for physical education. However, the guides are meant to overlap with a focus on commonalities to accommodate the reality of multi-grade classes. For example the 6th grade gymnastics/dance unit is 4 weeks long. If you have a mixed 6th and 7th grade class, you may choose to do gymnastics or dance for two weeks and outdoor pursuits for the remaining weeks. Also, you may choose gymnastics first semester and dance second semester.

Below, the guide allows for a team/dual/extreme sport of the teacher's choosing but suggests that the focus be on anaerobic activities (unit 4) or aerobic activities (unit 6) to simultaneously fulfill a mixed grade class. It includes suggested sports meeting the criteria, vocabulary, and additional resources to aid with planning. In spite of the fact that there are repeats in the curriculum to cover core competencies each semester, there remains flexibility which allows for change to accommodate each school's schedule and facilities. In addition, regional considerations were made when pacing the units. This means that cardio-fitness is placed earlier in the semester when weather is cooler. As the temperature rises, activities may transition into strength and flexibility units.

It is recommended that students complete FITNESSGRAM at least twice. If a student takes PE year-round, their testing should be done at the beginning of the year and the end of the year. If a student only takes PE for one semester, testing should be done once in the beginning of the semester and again at

the end of the semester. FITNESSGRAM results will typically be due at the end of January and again at the middle of May. **Note: Because of the unique class-scheduling situation in middle school, student rosters may not be uploaded until October for the first semester and

March for the second semester. Please take this into consideration when inputting FITNESSGRAM data. For example, you may choose to begin FG testing at the beginning of the semester, but keep a hard copy of the results and input this information once your classes are fully uploaded.
