The PE Profile …• What it is …

– a State developed assessment program designed for instructional use with curriculum to help students, teachers, and administrators focus on learning.

– a source for systematically providing evidence that students are learning and subsequently achieving the NYS Learning Standards.

– a source for evaluation of the quality of a school district’s physical education program.

• What it isn’t …– a mandated curriculum (curriculum is a local district decision).– a grading system (criteria for grading is a local district decision).– a graduation requirement (criteria for graduation is a Commissioner’s

Regulation and has not changed).– a mandated test (the assessment is available for schools to use to

provide evidence that students are achieving the Standards).

• Bottom line … today, a lot of information will be presented … keep in mind the quote –– “inch by inch, this is a cinch …yard by yard, this is way too hard”

The CD-ROM … What it is …– a resource that introduces assessments to use with curriculum to

help students, teachers, and administrators focus on learning.– a resource that provides the means to systematically provide

evidence that programs are effective and reflect the achievement of the NYS Learning Standards.

– a resource to familiarize teachers, administrators, school board members, parents, and students with the New York State Learning Standards and commencement level assessments for physical education.

– a resource to help teachers and administrators use assessments in physical education program evaluation and development.

– an interactive opportunity to learn how to assess performance.

What it isn’t …– a magic bullet for curriculum development … this will take time.– a magic bullet for enabling teachers to immediately score student

performance in a reliable way …reliable assessing will take practice.

Teachers will need staff development and practice to use the assessments effectively.

NYSED Website (www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/pe/profile.htm)

• What it is …– a resource that is available for up-to-date information

• for Standard 1A – new assessments / updates for existing assessments

• for Standards 1B, 2, 3 – the assessment package for the present school year.

– a resource for Printed Materials (PDFs) for all text and forms in the PE Profile. This is important because it allows teachers and administrators to print only pertinent information needed at the moment. Note: In the case of text, it is usually easier to read printed text as opposed to reading it in scrolled form on the CD ROM.

– a forum for announcements of “Best Practices,” etc.

• Unlike the CD ROM, the Website will keep the PE Profile ‘alive.’

3 Competent: A student has the skill and knowledge to be comfortable participant and contributor in an organized adult recreational setting.

2 Advanced Beginner: A student needs more practice to develop the skill and knowledge necessary to become a comfortable participant and contributor in an organized adult recreational setting.

1 Beginner: A student is just beginning to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to participate.

Traditional Sport Categories

Team Passing Sports Net/Wall SportsTarget SportsStriking Fielding Sports

– Assessment components are similar: • Application of Skills• Application of Strategies • Application of Rules & Conventions• Personal and Social Responsibility

Application of Skills (how rubrics work … example – team passing sports)

Students4. … apply effective skills with few, if any, observable errors in technique. Students consistently and effectively defend and use offensive skills in the presence of defensive pressure.3. … apply effective skills with errors in technique. Students are inconsistent in defending and in using offensive skills in the presence of defensive pressure. 2. … perform skills showing some elements of correct technique but application is ineffective and inconsistent.1. … attempt skills but technique is not yet sufficient resulting in consistently ineffective performance.

Application of Strategy(how rubrics work … example – team passing sports)

Students4. …consistently apply effective strategic play, maintain

proper spacing, and make decisions to appropriately adjust to game situations. Students transition smoothly between offensive and defensive roles.

3. … apply appropriate offensive and defensive strategies in relation to other players but seem hesitant or indecisive when reacting to game situations.

2. … use some offensive and defensive skills appropriately but show little evidence of effective contribution to team offense or defense.

1. … use movements that are unrelated to basic game strategy. Students do not contribute to offense or defense.

Application of Rules & Conventions(how rubrics work … example – team passing sports)

Students4. … apply rules interpretation, conventions of play, and

terminology with no observable errors. Students announce the score correctly before re-starting play after a score or when asked.

3. … apply major rules, conventions of play and terminology correctly, but make minor errors or may seek confirmation from others. Students announce the score correctly before re-starting play or when asked.

2. … demonstrate a general understanding of the activity but need assistance to correctly apply rules, conventions, terminology and/or scoring.

1. … consistently demonstrate incorrect application of rules, conventions of play, and/or terminology. Students rely on others to play correctly.

Personal and Social Responsibility & Safety(how rubrics work … example – team passing sports)

Students4. … demonstrate fair play and appropriate competitive

behavior…participate energetically and safely demonstrating self-control and respect for the positive and safe experience of others… prevent or resolve conflicts without teacher intervention and/or appropriately challenge themselves and others to high levels of performance.

3. … participate energetically and safely demonstrating self-control, fair play, and respect for others.

2. … participate safely and maintain self-control but are inconsistent in energy.

1. … lack self-control at times and/or need reminders and encouragement from others to participate in a safe, fair, energetic, or respectful manner.

Standard 1A – in reviewStandard 1A is achieved when students demonstrate competency in 6

activities and proficiency in 3 activities found in 3 different categories

• What teachers have found:– Student Accountability – When students understand that they are

accountable for specific knowledge and physical performance levels, their attentional focus and energy increases and learning improves.

– Impact on Curriculum & Instruction – When students reach the 9th grade and demonstrate competency or proficiency particularly in the traditional sports found in the team passing category, there is not a pressing need to repeat those activities over the next three years because for those who did not demonstrate competency or proficiency, it is highly unlikely that they will take an interest to practice on their own or will have enough practice during class time to ever become proficient or competent in that activity. This fact immediately creates opportunities to enrich programs by shifting toward the types of activities that students have not yet experienced and might choose to do as adults.

– Program Accountability – When a climate is established where physical education programs reflect a seriousness for student learning and achievement of the Standards (physical activity, fitness, character/civility/citizenship, resources), there is more respect from other teachers, more resources are available from administrators, and fewer pull-outs take place.

The Cognitive Assessments

Standard 1B – Fitness

Standard 2 –Personal & Social Responsibility

Standard 3 – Resource Management

For up-to-date information for the NYS PE Profile see: www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/pe/profile.htm

Learning Standard 1BLearning Standard – Students will have the necessary knowledge and skills

to establish and maintain physical fitness, participate in physical activity, and maintain personal health.

Key Idea B for Physical Education – Students will perform basic motor and manipulative skills.

They will attain competency in a variety of physical activities and proficiency in a few select complex motor and sports activities. Students will design personal fitness programs to improve cardio-respiratory endurance, flexibility, muscular strength, endurance, and body composition.

Who says Standard 1B is Important?The Issue:

Physical inactivity and lack of knowledge regarding fitness and health-enhancing lifestyles have resulted in a startling rise in childhood and adult obesity, cardio-respiratory risk, type II diabetes, and other lifestyle-related diseases.

The Question:What is physical education doing about these fitness and health issues?

The Challenge:The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the

Surgeon General have specifically challenged physical education to be an important part of the solution to the nation’s obesity epidemic by providing:

1) opportunities for physical activity, and 2) knowledge for establishing and maintaining health & fitness through

an active, health-enhancing lifestyle.

The successful completion of the assessment for Standard 1B shows students are prepared for this adult responsibility.

Standard 1BIntroduction

– assessments are designed to be part of a comprehensive instructional unit– assessments are structured as a task comprised of stimulus-based

questions based on a scenario that represents a ‘real world’ or authentic situation

– assessments will require short answer responses in graphic organizers and narratives

– the assessments are scored using a 4-point rubric– student work will show the application of skill and knowledge that is

personally useful at present and will be useful during their adult lives– answers will show that students can analyze/synthesize/interpret

information using charts, graphs, tables, and other visuals – answers will show that students can make recommendations or plans based

on that information – the assessments are designed to be part of a comprehensive instructional

unit where students will be held accountable for content knowledge– the assessments are not secure.

Comparison to NASPE Standards• New York State Learning Standard – Key Idea B states that “students

will design fitness programs …”

• NASPE Standards state that the physically educated person “exhibits a physically active lifestyle” (1995) or “participates regularly in physical activity” (2004); and that the physically educated person “achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of physical fitness” (1995, 2004).

• The NASPE outcomes imply the need for physical activity records and physical fitness test scores. In contrast, New York State Learning Standard 1 – Key Idea B implies the need for a cognitive assessment where students demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to design personal fitness programs.

Teachers need to be aware that State and National Standards sometimes differ. Such is the case with the Fitness Standards of NYS and NASPE

Developmentally Appropriate Practices (NASPE)

Appropriate Practices for Health-Related Fitness and Fitness Testing

To set a context for the fitness education component of a commencement level program and fitness testing, it is helpful to review what is considered appropriate professional practice. NASPE has authored publications for high school, middle school, and elementary school levels that explain appropriate and inappropriate practices on a variety of topics including health-related fitness and fitness testing. These identify key aspects of professional practice for curricula, instruction, and assessment and are presented to provide specific guidelines for instructional practices that support maximum opportunities for developmentally appropriate student achievement. Inappropriate practices identify common practices that are counterproductive or even harmful to the physical, mental, social, and emotional development of children and adolescents, and they should be avoided or changed.

Teachers need to be aware of this information (Standards 1A,1B,2)

Example Scenario #1Norm, a 17-year old high school senior, was considered an all-round kid. He did well in his studies, was elected to the student government, and was active in intramurals and recreation during all three seasons. His favorite activity is basketball. Norm believed in keeping fit, as he believed that his physical condition would affect the rest of his life. But Norm had been diagnosed with mononucleosis (mono), and after a week in bed he did not participate in any exercise for the next four weeks. Norm was sure that his inactivity had had a negative effect on his fitness. With his recovery complete, Norm is once again ready to participate in recreational sports and to pursue his long time objective to be able to bench press his body weight. Before allowing Norm to push himself, his doctor referred to his medical data, had him fill out a Risk Factor History questionnaire, and evaluated his status for the four health related components of fitness. The doctor gave Norm clearance to begin exercising.

Part #1 (c) Health/Fitness Profile Interpretation

3 – Level responses would provide correct essential information in a summary review of the health and fitness strengths, weaknesses, and concerns of the individual.

For example, a response might include: “For Norm, his two strength tests indicate marginal results. That fact, coupled with his goal to improve his upper body strength and eventually bench press his body weight should be kept in mind when developing the muscle strength and endurance component of his fitness plan.”

For example, a response might include: “For Norm, his doctor’s report shows no problems as he scored in the normal range for each item. His fitness test results all can be interpreted as good to marginal, and his risk factors indicate that he should be aware of his family history of cancer and hypertension.”

4 – Level responses would build on the correct essential information (3-Level expectation) by adding a higher level of detail or further information that may be relevant for analysis of health and fitness status and the development of a subsequent fitness plan.

1B Task – Part 2 (a,b,c,d,e)Complete the Exercise/Activity Worksheets using your

knowledge and the information identified in the Scenario and Health/Fitness Profile

• a. State the individual’s short-term goal for the first month.• b. Recommend specific types of exercises/activities that

addresses the goals.• c. Determine the intensity of the first day workout for each

exercise/activity type based on the FITT Formula. • d. Recommend time and frequency for each

exercise/activity type based on the FITT Formula• e. Explain the progression for exercise specificity and

overload (Principles of Fitness) that would lead to achieving the individual’s short-term goal for the first month.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness (Part 2.a)

3 – Level responses would provide evidence of correct essential information and a recommendation for a cardiorespiratory fitness goal for the first month.

4 – Level responses would build on the correct essential information (3-Level expectation) by adding a higher level of detail or further information.

For example, a response might include: “Information in the Scenario and Health/Fitness Profile suggests that even though Norm’s cardiorespiratory fitness is in the healthy zone, he states he wants to regain the overall fitness levels he had prior to getting mono. Based on this information, his goal for the first month is to improve his cardiorespiratory fitness by improving his score on the Pacer test. Progression toward his goal would be evidenced by periodic journal entries showing change in his performance and/or through retesting.”

For example, a response might include: “Encouraging Norm to identify specific cardio activity preferences may help him adhere to his plan. Good cardio activities (walking, jogging, step aerobics, swimming, cardio-kick boxing, treadmill) and/or active sports and recreation (biking, soccer, skating, tennis) could increase cardiorespiratory fitness in ways that are fun and interesting to Norm. To determine if progression toward the first month goal has taken place, Norm should be able to exceed the 61 lengths run during his initial Pacer test.”

Cardiorespiratory Fitness

A 3-Level response might include: “For Norm, because it is one of his activity preferences, basketball is recommended.”

A 4-Level response might include: “For Norm, he revealed that basketball is a favorite activity, so he could be encouraged to look for informal (playground) or formal (Y leagues) opportunities to play. If he plays regularly and with enough intensity, basketball would be an appropriate recommendation.”

A 3-Level response might include:“For Norm, as his cardiorespiratory fitness level improves, he may wish to continue the progression by establishing a higher HR target zone (70%-80%) by changing the intensity of his

workout.”

A 4-Level response might include: “For Norm, his fitness test results (HRrest and Pacer test) indicate good cardiorespiratory fitness suggesting that, although Norm has not exercised in the past five weeks, an initial exercise target zone of 60%-70% is recommended. The recommendation for Norm would include a reminder that he should periodically check his HR during his workout, and he needs to keep his HR in the target zone (122-142 bpm) throughout.”

A 3-Level response might include: “For Norm, participating for 30 minutes is recommended.”

A 4-Level response might include: “For Norm, the recommended work-out sessions (basketball) should last at least 30 minutes per session but, given the continuous starts and stops of play, playing longer might be to his advantage. Also, he might be reminded that time needs to be allotted for warm-up and cool-down routines.”

A 3-Level response might include: “For Norm, a minimum of 3x/week is recommended.”

A 4-Level response might include: “For Norm, the recommended frequency of cardiorespiratory exercise to reach his goal would be at least 3x per week but he does not have to limit himself.

Muscle Strength and Endurance (Part 2.a)

3 – Level responses would provide evidence of correct essential information when making a recommendation for muscle strength and endurance fitness goals for the first month.

For example, a response might include: “Information in the Scenario and Health/Fitness Profile suggests that Norm’s muscle strength and endurance fitness test scores are in the marginal zone. He states that he has a specific personal goal of being able to bench press his body weight. Based on this information, his goal for the first month is to improve his muscle strength and endurance, specifically for the upper body. Progression toward his goal would be evidenced by periodic journal entries showing change in his performance and/or through retesting.”

4 – Level responses would build on the correct essential information (3- Level expectation) by adding a higher level of detail or further information.

For example, a response might include: “In order to achieve his overall goal to bench press his body weight, he needs first to improve his overall muscle strength and endurance to establish a high level of muscle fitness. Then he can revise his program to specifically improver his upper body strength and thereby reach his goal of bench pressing 140 lbs.”

Muscle Strength and Endurance

A 3-Level response might include: “For Norm, a circuit on resistance machines that address total body strength and would prepare him to pursue his goal of bench pressing his body weight is recommended.”

A 4-Level response might include: “For Norm, a circuit of 10 lifts on resistance machines would attend to his needs and goals. A circuit (bench press, knee extension, hamstring curl, biceps curl, heel raise, lat pull-down, triceps press, seated row, back extension, abdominal curl) is recommended.”

A 3-Level response might include: “For Norm, his first day workout on resistance machines would involve lifts at a weight producing exhaustion after 8-12 repetitions in each of his 3 sets. A 10-lift circuit using resistance machines is recommended.”

A 4-Level response might include: “For Norm, as endurance improves, strength improves (and vice-versa). Over time, Norm could reach his goal of bench pressing his body weight, but he should first concentrate on improving his overall muscle strength and endurance.”

A 3-Level might include: “For Norm, a total body circuit program of approximately 45-60 minutes is recommended.”

A 4-Level response might include: “For Norm, the standard time allotment of approximately a 60- minutes is recommended. Norm should be reminded that exercise time also needs to be allotted for muscle warm-up and cool-down routines.”

A 3-Level response might include: “For Norm, participation in muscle fitness activities 3x/week is recommended.”

A 4-Level response might include: “For Norm, participation in muscle fitness activities 3x/week on the days he does not play basketball is recommended.”

Flexibility (Part 2.a)

For example, a response might include: “In order for Norm to realize his goal to maintain his high flexibility, he cannot assume that his basketball and weight training program will suffice. He should include specific flexibility exercises in his daily exercise routine. Maintenance would be evidenced by Norm being able to continue to record a Sit &Reach score of at least 11 inches.”

3 – Level responses would provide evidence of correct essential information when making a recommendation for flexibility fitness goals for the first month.

For example, a response might include: “Information in the Scenario and Health/Fitness Profile shows that Norm’s flexibility fitness test score indicates high performance. Norm’s goal for the first month is to maintain his current flexibility level. Progression (or maintenance) toward his goal would be evidenced by periodic journal entries showing change in his performance and/or through retesting.”

4 – Level responses would build on the correct essential information (3-Level expectation) by adding a higher level of detail or further information.

Designing a Personal Fitness Program

Wrap Up - Standard 1B • So, what happened to BODY COMPOSITION ?

Body Composition is recognized as one of the four Health-Related Components of Fitness and data related to it is included in the all three subsections of the Health/Fitness Profile (Doctor’s Report, Fitness Test Results, and Risk Factor History). Students are expected to be able to identify poor fitness as it relates to body composition through their interpretation of the data provided in the Fitness Test Results section of the Health/Fitness Profile. Since nutrition, as related to body composition is often taught through other subject areas, body composition is not addressed specifically as part of fitness planning for this assessment.

Learning Standard 2Learning Standard –

Students will acquire the knowledge and ability necessary to create and maintain a safe and healthy environment.

Key Idea for Physical Education – Students will demonstrate responsible personal and social behavior while engaged in physical activity. They will understand that physical activity provides the opportunity for enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and communication. Students will be able to identify safety hazards and react effectively to ensure a safe and positive experience for all participants.

Who says Standard 2 is important• The Issues:

– Lack of respect for others– Lack of respect for difference– Violence in schools, neighborhoods, and communities– Bullying

• The Question:– What is physical education doing about these issues ?

• The Challenge:– Project SAVE (Safe Schools Against Violence in Education Act) legislation

requires schools to provide K-12 instruction inn civility, citizenship and character education. Learning Standard 2 for Physical Education calls for students to demonstrate responsible personal and social behavior, to care and respect themselves and others, and to recognize threats to the environment when engaged in physical activity.

– Essential Skills and Dispositions (NYSED, 1995) identified the skills and dispositions that prepared students to live well as individuals, family and community members, and be productive in the workplace. It served as a guide for the development of the Learning Standards by acknowledging that these skills and dispositions need to be taught in all subject areas across the curriculum. Many of these skills and dispositions fit into Standard 2 for Physical Education.

Standard 2 assessed as behavior in Sport & Physical Activity (1A)

Examples:Demonstrating appropriate PSR– Participate energetically and safely showing self-control

and respect for others

Demonstrating personal challenge, decision-making, and preparation– Show willingness to challenge self and others to higher

levels of performance– Make timely decisions and adjust to the unexpected– Perform without need for direction or supervision

Safety – Apply safety procedures consistently and effectively

Assessment of Personal & Social Responsibility & Safety (sample rubric)

Students4. … demonstrate fair play and appropriate competitive

behavior. Students participate energetically and safely demonstrating self-control and respect for the positive and safe experience of others. Students prevent or resolve conflicts without teacher intervention and/or appropriately challenge themselves and others to high levels of performance.

Example Scenario #2 Duncan is the new captain of the soccer team. He is also in the 3rd period physical education class with James, a new student in the 10th grade. James had some trouble fitting in at this school. Physical education class has been a particular problem for him. He is overweight, not very good in sports, and shy. James’ gym locker is next to Duncan’s. In the locker room after class, one of Duncan’s teammates starts teasing James, laughing at him and making fun of his clothes. Duncan knows this is making James miserable, and thinks about how he can step in to stop this bullying. Duncan makes a joke to his teammate, deflecting the attention, and easing the tension for today, but he knows he will have to do more if James is going to be a able to get through physical education classes this year without being a target for some of the other boys. He thinks about talking to his teacher about the situation, but decides he has to deal with his teammate on his own, and plans what he will say or do to resolve the situation.

Learning Standard 3

Learning Standard – Students will understand and be able to manage their personal and community resources.

The Key Idea for Physical Education – Students will be aware of and able to access opportunities available to them within their community to engage in physical activity. They will be informed consumers and be able to evaluate facilities and programs. Students will also be aware of some career options in the field of physical fitness and sports.

Who says Standard 3 is Important?

• The Issues:– Knowledge of the interaction of factors that influence the physically

active lifestyles of adults– The enabling factors including environmental variables such as access

to facilities, equipment, and programs.– Knowledge as a consumer– Knowledge as a participant in a physically active lifestyle– Adherence factors … why people are not physically active

• The Question:– What is physical education doing about the issue enabling people to be

physically active ?

• The Challenge:– Do graduates know what they need to know to live a physically active

lifestyle? – Do graduates have the confidence and skill to be physically active?

Example Scenario #1 Your aunt has just returned from her yearly medical

exam reporting that her doctor has recommended that she begin exercising on a regular basis. The doctor wants her to begin doing low intensity cardiorespiratory exercise at least three times per week to help keep here borderline blood pressure and weight in check. If possible she should add some basic flexibility and strength exercise as well, especially to prevent lower back problems. Above all he wants her to find a way to build some regular exercise into her lifestyle.

Your aunt is a 30 year-old 9:00-5:00 office worker who works in your community, lives alone outside of town, and has a very active social life. Up to now she has never liked physical activity and has never tried to exercise on a regular basis. She had hoped to avoid it, but now knows she has to do something to prevent serious health problems. She is weighing the pros and cons of two advertisements she is considering as possibilities and asks your advice as to which of these two would best meet her needs.

Implementing the NYS Physical Education Profile

What’s next for your district?

Discussion: Teachers and Directors

– How could the PE Profile strengthen your program ?

– How could it be phased in ?

– What are the barriers ?

– What are the solutions ?

Why should schools implement the PE Profile ?

• No Child Left Behind• Societal Issues Addressed by PE Standards

– Issues: schools are constantly challenged by the media and politicians to make a difference addressing issues like

• Obesity• Lack of physical activity• Character development• Assuming responsibility as an adult

– Solutions: the NYS Learning Standards address these in the context of physical education programs

– The assessments help districts focus their programs on widely accepted goals

Why Should Schools Implement the PE Profile

• Students, parents, and teachers will have an understanding of expectations and requirements in physical education.

• Assessments will drive a curriculum.• Implementing standardized assessments can provide

consistency in teaching and in holding students accountable for learning.

• Consistency in instruction will eventually provide consistency in grading and grade justification.

• The Profile can be a powerful public relations tool.• The Profile can be an effective tool in developing and

justifying budgetary needs.

Practical ideas for Implementation

Step #1 – Develop a Mission Statement K-12

– Begin with the big picture – The K-12 physical education department discusses

and agrees upon what a student needs to know and demonstrate by the time they graduate.

Check to see whether the mission incorporates the Learning Standards.

Implementation

• Step #2 – Curriculum Mapping

– Once the Mission Statement is in hand, the existing K-12 curriculum needs to be reviewed to determine which parts of the program address the mission statement and learning standards. Map out the program areas that are and are not consistent with the mission.

Implementation

• Step #3 - The Gap Analysis

– Once the task of curriculum mapping is completed, identify any content that is not being taught but should be taught

Implementation

• Step #4 – Program Accountability

– Determine whether students are achieving the learning standards. Teachers are only able to validate learning by assessing students.

– Select and try out one assessment. All teachers should use the same assessment

– Consider building the score students earn on the assessment into the unit grade.

– Plan other assessments to try.

Implementation

• Step #5 – Benchmark Grade Levels

– Design assessments at the elementary and middle school levels (e.g., grades 2,5,8) that show how students are progressing toward the achievement of the Standards.

– All teachers should assess in the same way if the results are to be useful in making decisions.

Implementation

• Step #6 – Record-keeping system

– The next step involves the development of an easy-to-manage record keeping system that will follow the student

– NOTE: • Standard 1A – Students are responsible for

attaining competency in 6 activities and proficiency in 3 activities in a minimum of three different categories

• Standards 1B, 2 & 3 – Students are responsible for attaining competency or proficiency in all three cognitive assessments.

Implementation• Step #7 – Reporting Results

– Inform the district stakeholders of the quality of the physical education program. Build support for your program by showing them credible evidence you your success and your needs.

– Make your results available to your Administration Board of EducationFacultyParents Students

Implementation

• Step #8 – Re-establishing a Grading System

– The next step is optional … some school districts will choose to establish a district-wide grading system that includes assessment results, while others will not.

Different Schools… Different Strategies

• Strategies for implementing the Profile will vary from school district to school district.

• Every district is at a different place regarding curriculum development, administering assessments, and validating that students have met the Learning Standards.

Will there be changes for PE teachers?

Concerns:• It will involve additional paper work for teachers.

Teachers will not only be expected to administer assessments but also read and analyze student responses.

• Accurate record keeping becomes extremely important.• If assessments are included in a grading system there

may be significant changes in student grades.• Parents may call and express concerns about assessing

their children in physical education class. They will tend to focus on all the responsibilities their children have in other subject areas, and they don’t have time to study for a test in “gym class.”

Changes (continued)Positive Impact:• Students and parents will have a clear understanding of

learning expectations in physical education class.• Teachers will be held accountable for teaching the

curriculum and students will be held accountable for learning.

• The administration will have an improved understanding of the learning that takes place in a physical education class. This may lead to smaller classes and fewer program changes throughout a school year. Fewer students may be pulled out of a physical education class for other school obligations.

• Physical education teachers will be able to validate the learning that takes place in their classroom.

• There can be a consistency in teaching and grading from class to class.

PE Profile assessments can influence PE programs K-12

“Assessment drives the curriculum”• Design down …

– The NYS Assessment program for the commencement level establishes the need for ‘bench mark’ assessments for intermediate, upper-elementary, and primary grades

– The bench mark assessments establishes the need for ‘performance indicators’ to ‘locate’ student progress as they prepare to achieve the commencement level assessments.

• The CD-ROM can be an effective tool in developing or revising a sequential curriculum.

The Entire Physical Education Staff Must Be On Board!

• Professionally, the entire P.E. Staff needs to understand the value of implementing the Profile.

• Entire department should take part in developing an implementation strategy.

• The Profile should be phased into a physical education program.

• Identify needed staff development for teachers to be effective.

• Take advantage of available technology that can be used in record keeping and assessing students.

• Include implementation of the Profile as part of a teachers end of year evaluations.

Everyone on board (continued)

• The current curriculum should be reviewed and adjusted to ensure student success.

• Teachers need to establish benchmark assessments at appropriate grade levels.

• Address concerns such as class size, equipment and facility needs.

• Teachers should know that the superintendent is aware of the Profile.

A key factor is communication.

• The CD ROM can be an effective tool in presentations to all constituencies.

• Parents and students must understand how assessments can have an impact on grading and passing PE.

• School districts are encouraged to use the Profile to keep their programs strong and aligned with State Learning Standards.

Public Relations

Use the CD ROM to strengthen your public relations campaign.

The CD ROM can be an effective tool to send the message to the district stakeholders: – Administration – Board of Education – Faculty– Parents – Students

Introducing the Profile to Students and Parents

• Assessments are not secured so students will have a clear idea of expectations upfront.

• Students should review assessments at the start of a unit.

• Post the Profile on a school website.

• Develop a brochure that can go home with students and parents.

• CD ROM is an effective tool in showing what constitutes competency and proficiency.

• If assessments are used in report card grading parents and students should know how grades will be determined.

• “Meet the teacher night” provides an opportunity to share the Profile with parents.

• Do we have what it takes to effectively deal with change ?

• Do we have what it takes to provide solutions with ‘cutting edge’ PE programs ?

• Do we have what it takes to engage in renewal ?

• Do we have what it takes to establish our own professional standards and ‘police’ ourselves ?

• Do we have what it takes to step forward and be publicly accountable for student learning ?

Yes No

Decade Report Card on Professionalism

The Quality of a Profession The quality of a profession is judged on its capacity to deal with change. The quality of a profession is judged on its capacity to satisfy the the pressing needs of society and to provide solutions to the problems of the times. The quality of a profession is judged on its capacity and willingness to engage in renewal.The quality of a profession is judged on its capacity and willingness to establish its own standards and ‘police’ itself.

Wrap up• Review Goals of the Day• What do physical educators need to do ?

– Everyone has a role– Everyone has to be involved– Involvement needs to be continuous– It must be done at the district level

• Specifically … our future as a profession is at stake– Directors of Physical Education need to provide the

leadership– Teachers of Physical Education need to provide student

and program accountability of student achievement of the Learning Standards
