This curricular guide was designed to be used as a foundation for local school districts in their physical education programs. It is divided into three sections: elementary (K-5), middle school (6-8), and senior high school (9-12), currently the most popular divisions being employed in school districts throughout the state of Washington. Within each of these three sections, major areas (strands) of emphasis have been developed. For example, at the elementary level the major areas are: fitness, fundamental movements, rhythms, stunts-tumbling and gymnastics, lead-up sport skills and leisure-time activities. Within each of these strands of emphasis the reader will find suggested content. In addition, expected learning outcomes/competencies and instructional implications for teacher use are listed together with the applicable domain of learning, i.e., cognitive, psychomotor and affective. A bibliography is included with each section. (JD)
