Acknowledgments

We are appreciative of the leadership provided by our curriculum specialists as well as the talent, work and effort of the teachers who served on our curriculum writing teams. In many cases, our units are “home-‐grown.” While aligning with state and national standards, they are designed with the needs of

the South Brunswick student population in mind.

Articulation

The Physical Education teachers throughout the District meet several times each year in Job Alike Groups and Professional Learning Communities to keep abreast of curricular and programmatic trends,

changes and issues and to analyze student progress data.

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.

Overview: Physical Education

Statement of Philosophy/Goals Physical activity is critical to the development and maintenance of good health. The goal of physical education is to develop physically educated individuals who have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity. It is our goal that our students will know the benefits of their choice to be involved in physical activity and have a mindset that values physical activity and its benefits in sustaining healthy lifestyles. Physical activity is critical to the development and maintenance of good health for both the body and the mind. Studies have shown a correlation between fitness and academic performance: Physical Fitness Level = Academic Achievement. The New Jersey Department of Education combines standards for Health and Physical Education in its development of standards. The South Brunswick School District recognizes this clear connection but chooses to separate these content areas in order to emphasize the unique importance of each. This is why The Physical Education Curriculum was prepared using the National Standards for Physical Education as well as the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. Habits of Mind The National Association for Sport and Physical Education’s (NASPE) definition of a physically educated person includes 5 major focus areas: To pursue a lifetime of healthful physical activity, a physically educated person:

§ Has learned skills necessary to perform a variety of physical activities; § Knows the implications of and the benefits from involvement in physical activities; § Does participate regularly in physical activity; § Is physically fit; § Values physical activity and its contribution to a healthful lifestyle.

Physical Education Environment Our Physical Education gymnasiums are effective standards-based environments that foster understanding of physical fitness, skill development, competition and cooperation through a meaningful content that provides:

§ Instruction in a variety of motor skills that are designed to enhance the physical, mental, and social/emotional development of every child.

§ Fitness education and assessment to help children understand, improve, and/or maintain their

physical well-being.

§ Development of cognitive concepts about motor skill and fitness.

§ Opportunities to improve their emerging social and cooperative skills and gain a multicultural perspective.

§ Promotion of regular amounts of appropriate physical activity now and throughout life.

Enduring Understandings1 Physical education is an integral part of the total education of every child from kindergarten through grade 12. Quality physical education programs are needed to increase the physical competence, health-related fitness, self-responsibility, and enjoyment of physical activity for all students so that they can be physically active for a lifetime. Our physical education program aims to provide these benefits by including the following:

§ Skill development- Physical education develops motor skills that allow for safe, successful, and satisfying participation in physical activities.

§ Regular, healthful physical activity- Physical education provides a wide range of

developmentally appropriate activities for all children and youth. It encourages young people to choose to be physically active and aware of the benefits of such a choice.

§ Improved physical fitness- Quality physical education improves cardiovascular endurance,

muscular strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, and body composition.

§ Support for other subject areas- Physical education reinforces knowledge learned across the curriculum and serves as a laboratory for application of content in science, math, and social studies.

§ Self-discipline- Physical education facilitates development of responsibility for personal health, safety, and fitness.

§ Improved judgment - Quality physical education influences moral development. Students learn to assume leadership, cooperate with others, and accept responsibility for their own behavior.

§ Stress reduction- Physical activity becomes an outlet for releasing tension and anxiety and facilitates emotional stability and resilience.

§ Strengthened peer relations- Physical education is a major force in helping children and youth socialize with others successfully and provides opportunities to learn positive social skills. Especially during late childhood and adolescence, being able to participate in dances, games, and sports is an important part of youth and peer cultures.

§ Improved self-confidence and self-esteem- Physical education instills a stronger sense of self-worth in young people based on their mastery of skills and concepts in physical activity. They become more confident, assertive, independent, and self-controlled.

§ Experiencing goal setting- Physical education gives children and youth the opportunity to set and strive for personal, achievable goals.

Essential Questions • How can I develop my physical skills and improve my physical fitness? • Which activities will lead to regular, healthful living? • Which core academics are applied in physical education? • What does it take to have self-discipline? • What can I do to improve my judgment skills? • What activities will reduce stress? Strengthen peer relations? Improve self confidence? • How do I set SMART goals for myself? (specific, measureable, attainable, realistic, time-bound)

Program Delivery

Elementary Schools: • In grades K-2, students receive a minimum of 60 minutes of Physical Education instruction each

week. This is in addition to a daily 30 minute recess period.

• In grades 3-5, students receive a minimum of 70 minutes of Physical Education instruction each week. This is in addition to a daily 30 minute recess period.

Middle School: • In grades 6-8, students receive 40 minutes of Physical Education instruction every other school

day.

High School: • In grades 9-12, students receive 88 minutes of Physical Education instruction, every other day,

during three, of the four, marking periods. Freshmen and sophomores participate in a sequential curriculum of activities. Juniors and seniors are offered a choice of elective activities, twice each marking period.

Assessment There are multiple and varied forms of assessment at each grade level. Formative Assessments Rubric for:

• Participation • Preparation • Effort • Skill • Fitness

Benchmark Summative Assessments

Assessments at the Elementary Level: § Grades K-2: The development of a skills assessment has been developed and will be piloted in

the 2012-2013 school year. § Grades 3-5: Targeted units of study (Volleyball, Fitness) § Grades 4-5: FitnessGram

Assessments at the Middle Level: § FitnessGram § Targeted units of study (Archery, Volleyball, Health) § Grading Rubric based on participation, preparation, effort/skill, and fitness

Assessments at the High School Level: • 9-10 Pre-Post End of Unit Written Assessment (common unit)-forced cycle (Pilot) • 11 Pre-Post End of Unit Written Assessment (common unit)- forced cycle (Pilot) • 12 Pre-Post End of Unit Written Assessment (common unit)- forced cycle (Pilot) • Fitnessgram

Fitnessgram Fitnessgram is a comprehensive health-related fitness and activity assessment and computerized reporting system. It helps schools report out whether or not a student achieved the criterion-referenced standards for physical activity or fitness. Students are scored using criterion-referenced standards. These standards are age and gender specific and are established based on how fit children need to be for good health. The District is linked to a database system that allows data on individual students to be tracked and compiled over time. The system is designed to assess cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Important Notes:

• Results gathered and shared each year will be used as a “snapshot” of fitness levels. • The intent of the personal testing is to help students evaluate their level of health-related fitness. • Although the results on the fitness testing are not a direct determinant of student’s grade,

personal fitness matters. • South Brunswick will not emphasize only fitness activities, as this would shortchange students in

other areas such as skill development, social skills, and positive attitudes toward physical activity. • District analysis will be conducted to view group data for curriculum development. • South Brunswick will be interested in tracking trends over time. Changes in passing rates can be

useful information for curriculum planning. • Height/weight is used to determine body mass index.

Student Report Fitnessgram produced a student report, which provides personalized feedback that can help a child and parent become more informed about levels of health-related fitness. It is an easy to read report that uses bar charts to indicate fitness levels for each of the completed tests. Students with favorable scores will fall in the Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ). Students not reaching this level receive supportive messages and prescriptive feedback about how to be more active and how to improve their scores. Fitness Tests Fitnessgram tests include the following:

1. Pacer/Aerobic Capacity

9

This is a Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run. Objective: To run as long as possible back and forth across a 20 meter space at a specified pace that gets faster each minute.

2. Curl Ups

These test strength and endurance of the abdominal muscles. Objective: Complete as many curl-ups as possible at a specified pace

3. Sit and Reach

This tests flexibility. Objective: To reach a specified distance on the right and left sides of the body. The distance is adjusted for age and gender.

4. Push Up

This tests Upper body strength and endurance. Objective: To complete as many 90 degree push-ups as possible at a rhythmic pace.

5. Trunk Lift This is a trunk extension test done without limiting the lift to 12 inches. Objective: To lift the upper body off the floor using the muscles of the back and hold the position to allow for the measurement.

National Standards for Physical Education Physical activity is critical to the development and maintenance of good health. The goal of physical education is to develop physically educated individuals who have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity. The national standards, which informed our work, can be found at http://www.aahperd.org/naspe/standards/nationalStandards/PEstandards.cfm

Overview: Elementary Physical Education

Content: Physical Education Course Title: Physical Education Curriculum for Kindergarten to Fifth Grade Overview: In the South Brunswick School District, Physical Education is viewed as an integral part of the total education program. It offers a unique contribution to a child’s development of knowledge, skills, attitudes, social interactions and cultural understanding. Children are actively engaged in the processes of learning, exploring, creating, responding, observing and performing a range of movements and concepts designed to fully integrate critical thinking with motor development. This curriculum serves as a guide for the Kindergarten to Fifth grade physical education teachers as they develop and implement the Physical Education program in their school. The curriculum is in compliance with the New Jersey Department of Education Comprehensive Health and Physical Education Standards and the Visual and Performing Arts Standards and represents the current best practices and research in the Physical Education discipline.

Mission: The mission of the Physical Education curriculum is to provide activities that develop in students the skills, knowledge and behaviors that lead to gaining and maintaining a healthy active lifestyle. Description: Four content areas form the foundation for unit and lesson development. The content areas represent the range of skills and knowledge appropriate for the kindergarten to fifth grade program and provide children with the types of experiences needed to develop a healthy active lifestyle. 1. LOCOMOTOR CONCEPTS AND SKILLS Locomotor skills form the foundation of gross motor coordination and involve large muscle movement. Attaining locomotor skills is the ability to move the body from one place to another alone or with others or to project the body upward. 2. FITNESS CONCEPTS AND SKILLS Fitness is the capacity of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and muscles to function at optimum efficiency. Four main components of the health related physical fitness: muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Muscular strength is the amount of force the muscle can produce. Muscular endurance is the muscles' ability to produce that force for a period of time. Cardiovascular endurance is the body's ability to undergo vigorous exercise for a long time. Flexibility is the ability to use joints fully; it is the capacity of a joint to move through its potential range of motion. Students understand the importance of regular physical activity and its lifelong benefits. 3. MANIPULATIVE CONCEPTS AND SKILLS Manipulative skills are the motor skills used in sport and games. The development of these skills allows students to engage in activities at a more advanced level. Children focus on acquiring the fundamental skills of throwing, catching, kicking, volleying, dribbling, and striking.

4. NON-MANIPULATIVE CONCEPTS AND SKILLS Attaining non-manipulative skills involves the ability of the body to balance and transfer weight from one body part to another by becoming increasingly aware, and at the same time, by gaining a feeling of motion

18

and stillness. The non-manipulative skills form the foundation of gross motor coordination and involve large muscle movement. Typically, non-manipulative movements of rotation, transferring weight, and stationary balancing are coordinated to create patterns or sequences that can be performed with or without music in dance or gymnastics. In the early elementary years, the movement sequences are simple. As children develop and mature, their sequences can become quite complex. Standards: NJCCS 2.5 Motor Skill Development All students will utilize safe, efficient, and effective movement to develop and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. 2.6 Fitness All students will apply health-related and skill-related fitness concepts and skills to develop and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. Enduring Understandings: To achieve a healthy lifestyle, you must value physical activity. To be physically fit, you must learn, practice and participate in a variety of physical fitness activities. There are health benefits that are derived from involvement in physical activities:

• Skill development • Improved health • Improved physical fitness • Self discipline • Support for achievement in other content areas (academic fitness = physical fitness) • Stress reduction • Strengthened peer relations • Ability to set goals.

Physical fitness develops skills necessary for success in career and life in the 21st century: communication, collaboration and social interaction. Essential Questions:

• What is one of the main goals of physical education? • What should students learn from physical education? • What is one of the goals of physical education outside of learning activities and skills? • What should students learn about the importance of physical activity and a healthy lifestyle? • What 21st century skills will be developed during physical education? • What are some of the benefits of regular involvement in physical education?

Knowledge and Skills Students will know and be able to…

• Develop competency and confidence in performing movement skills and in understanding the concepts integral to successful and safe participation in a variety of physical activities.

• Apply health-related fitness concepts. • Understand and demonstrate that physical activity provides opportunities for challenge, self-

expression, social interaction, cultural understanding and enjoyment.

Topic

Teaching for the 21st Century: What does this mean and how do you do it? Students need to gain skills that will enable them to learn on their own, think critically and creatively, and apply knowledge to new situations. An emphasis needs to be placed on problem solving, teamwork skills, global awareness, and proficiency in using technology. Students need to learn to collaborate and work on authentic problems that they will likely encounter in their future careers. This section will outline what this means and how you “teach” for the 21st century: Elementary, Middle and High.

Tools for the 21st Century: Life, Careers, and Digital Environments 21st Century Life and Career Education Skills and Educational Technology Skills outline the NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards for these areas that align with PK-‐12 learning. These standards are written into the curriculum documents for all areas of content—English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, PE/Health Education, Visual Art, Music, World Language and Library-‐Media. They are integrated into curriculum and instruction in places where it is relevant and meaningful to do so, and in ways that enhance learning. You will see these integrations explicitly noted in the curriculum guides: Elementary, Middle and High.

Character Education: Safe and Caring Learning Communities South Brunswick takes an “approach” to character education that fosters the social, emotional and academic growth of each child. The intent is to create a safe and caring community while building life skills based on the five core values (CARES): C Cooperation A Assertion R Responsibility (and Respect) E Empathy S Self-‐Control For over ten years, the K-‐5 teachers have been trained in and have followed the Responsive Classroom (RC) approach. The middle school teachers have studied and/or been trained in the Developmental Designs (DD) approach to character education.

171

The high school approach has been named “Strive for Five” and includes an annual theme with related activities to bring Character Education to the forefront. There is always a service-‐learning project connected to the theme. In addition, the high school also follows the Institute of Excellence and Ethics (IEE) approach. The IEE approach allows for explicit teaching of Character Education through a series of multimedia lessons that are embedded into the students’ schedules.

Differentiation Differentiation of instruction is a deliberate and conscious method of planning and teaching that provides multiple avenues of learning. It means different challenges to different students. It is characterized by strategies that use an assessment of each individual student for readiness, interest and learning style to modify instruction in three ways: by content, process and product. In this document, there is a brief description of several approaches and methods that have long been utilized in South Brunswick to meet the differentiated needs of students within the classroom. · Bloom’s Taxonomy · Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences · Learning Styles · Inclusion Classrooms · Kagan Cooperative Learning · Principles of Differentiation It is expected that classroom instruction will be differentiated. This expectation is predicated upon the belief or disposition that “all students can learn.”

Understanding by Design For nearly two decades, the South Brunswick School District has held much value in the Understanding by Design (UbD) or Backward Design model of curriculum writing by Grant Wiggins. This model and the process of curriculum development, has been used in the district for many years. The curriculum template—which was recommended by the State of NJ and adopted/adapted by the District, includes elements of the UbD approach.) You will note that in every curricular area, we begin with the end in mind (that is, the big idea). Enduring understandings, essential questions and performance assessments—all based on standards-‐-‐ are used in the process of curriculum development. With this being said, it is not only important to understand the process of UbD, but also how to implement curriculum designed in such a way. A brief overview of how to use Understanding by Design in delivering curriculum is included in the Appendix.
