Grading
Each student will take home an assessment for Physical Education
at the end of each quarter. This assessment will include individual
information about student achievement on fitness tests and performance
objectives specific to their grade.
Fitness Testing
Students will be assessed on the following norm referenced areas
of fitness: aerobic endurance, flexibility, muscular strength and
endurance.
State Standards
Idaho does not currently have state standards for Physical Education.
Therefore, Boise Public Schools Physical Education Department has
aligned themselves with the Indiana State Standards. The state
of Indiana developed their standards from standards set forth by
the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE).
Both the NASPE and Indiana State Standards reflect the educational
philosophies and values of the Boise School District.
