6th, 7th and 8th Grade Physical Education
The physical education department uses a teaching style called sport education. Sport education is a curriculum and an instruction model that puts students in positions of roles/responsibility which can affect their team’s overall success. Students participate as members of teams in seasons, plus they take an active role in their own sport experience by serving in realistic team roles. Each team will have authentic sport roles such as coaches, assistant coaches, athletic trainers, equipment managers, and a sports reporter. Throughout the year, teams develop team names, cheers, and game strategies as they work together to learn and develop various skills during game play.
In sport education, students assume more responsibility in decision making within their team. It also offers small sided games with modifications to equipment, rules, and playing conditions in order to maximize all students’ involvement and success. The overall goal in sport education is to have everyone become competent, literate, and enthusiastic sportspeople.
The sports taught have been broken down into three different categories:
Net Games (deck tennis, volleyball, badminton and tennis), Invasion Games (basketball, ultimate frisbee, soccer, handball, speedball, pillow polo and football) and Softball
