This is the old paradigm...

Practical Assessment for Physical Education Teachers.

by Sarah Doolittle

Physical Education Teachers, unlike classroom teachers, generally have not felt obliged to demonstrate student achievement of goals in a formal and systematic way. Instead, we often simply require students to attend classes and demonstrate good behavior. Thus, in order to earn physical education credit for graduation, students are graded on attendance rather than achievement, on participation rather than learning.

Experts?

Been talking to folks trying to find an PE assessment exepert...difficult to find. Got the name of a person from a colleague of mine. Will contact and see if she can help.

Anybody know of PE assessment experts? Please share if you do.

Brainstorming

When choosing a topic for this inquiry assignment, my thoughts were all over the place. I thought about the following topics:

Surviving Divorce
ESL Teaching Strategies
Vertical Teaming
Assessment in PE
Social Networking in Education
Christian Psychology
Distance Learning and Learning Styles
iPhones and iTouches in the Classroom
Free Market Education

I finally chose to focus on PE Assessments because I am interested in authentic assessment and a paradigm shift in PE. This would also be beneficial in my leadership role in our Vertical Teaming initiative in my district.
