Mercier, Kevin; Iacovelli, Tracy
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v85 n2 p14-18 2014
Physical education classes at the authors' high school expose students to a variety of activities that are specifically geared toward their interests. The teachers and students also assess learning with the goal of attaining physical education standards including skills, strategies, rules, and personal/social responsibility. Seven years ago this was very different. This article summarizes the changes that took place in this program, beginning with the implementation of summative assessments.
