Mission Statement:
Physical and Health Education courses expose students
to challenges designed to promote
an enjoyment of active and healthy lifestyles.
Course Components
The course emphasizes three development areas:
1. Participation:
This focuses on the student's drive, enthusiasm, and initiative
for the activity/Health topic. Special consideration is given for:
-
Punctuality 5 marks are deducted for each tardy
-
Proper uniform* 5 marks are deducted for each infraction
-
Willingness to volunteer to demonstrate and/or get involved
in activities
-
Peer teaching
-
Daily participation**
*Uniform policy: “Students
are required to wear the Roosevelt P.E. uniform, gym socks
and appropriate footwear for all activity units.” School
sweat wear is appropriate.
**Excuses: Parents need to send an excuse with the student
for illness. Medical excuses issued by a doctor are necessary
if a student is to miss 3 or more days. Students who are
legitimately ill should request permission to go home prior
to coming to PHE class. A student who is absent 4 or more
days from a particular unit will receive an "incomplete"
for that unit, and that unit will not figure into the average
grade. Unexcused Absences will result in a loss of 5 marks
per day. It is the student's responsibility to show an excused
pass to the teacher. |
Participation is the key focus for PHE at Roosevelt.
2. Skill Development:
Skill development is emphasized at Roosevelt.
The initial state of
your physical skills is irrelevant. Instead,
we focus on how much
you develop over the course of instruction.
This aspect is tied to
participation. Even a great athlete will
not do well in this course
unless she/he has the "great" attitude
to match.
3. Cognitive Development:
Each student's ability to master content
in both PHE and Health
areas will be measured through written
tests, essays, personal
and group projects, and oral presentations.
