9th Grade Physical Education

Black Hills High School

Physical Education Syllabus

Teacher: Mr. Glock Email: kirk.glock@tumwater.k12.wa.us

 

PURPOSE:

  1. The ultimate purpose of any physical education and health program is to help all students gain the skills and knowledge to be physically active and healthy for a lifetime.

  2. Physical educators design physical activity experiences that are appropriate for students’ developmental levels.

  3. Physical education is a unique and important component of the total school program.

  4. Physical activity and physical education are not the same. Physical education focuses on the whole student, including cognitive and affective, as well as psychomotor aspects.

  5. The program goals for athletic, intramural and club programs are different from those of physical education programs.

  6. We want to create and sustain physically educated people that have the skills, behaviors, and attitudes to be healthy and fit throughout their lives. 

 

BHHS defines a physically educated person as someone who:

 

  1. Can move correctly (0% of grade—feedback only): Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities.

 

  1. Can train others and self (10% of grade): Demonstrates understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities.

 

  1. Participates regularly (50% of grade): Participates regularly in physical activity at appropriate intensity level.

 

  1. Is fit or striving to be fit (0% of grade–feedback only): Achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of physical fitness. May be assessed on approved district tests, and/or based on specific goals of the class. This standard will emphasize and encourage self-reflection from the student.

 

  1. Can play fairly (20% of grade): Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings.

 

  1. Values physical education (20% of grade): Demonstration through participation in instant activity, preparedness (appropriate attire), and the choice to enjoy, be challenged, and engage in class opportunities. 

 


OVERVIEW:

This class is designed to enhance or maintain an appropriate and healthy standard of fitness, motor skills through these various activities, and behaviors that influence a positive environment, responsible and safe choices for self and others.  It is my goal that each of you will be able to utilize these activities as adults to supplement your personal wellness plan. You will improve or enhance cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, body composition, and relaxation.

Appropriate modifications will be made for students to participate in class for notes and medical excuses. A written doctor’s excuse is required after three days. Extended absences for medical reasons will be dealt with individually. 

 

  1. Make-Up Work: Each student is responsible for making up missed assignments, work, and assessments if not in class. 1st communicate with teacher prior and/or after absence, 2nd arrange appropriate time and duties to make up missed information/work. PACK time, after school, and other time outside of class may be agreed upon options. 

 

  1. Class Rules: Respect self, respect others, & respect the space and equipment we use.

 

  1. Locker-room: One small locker in the physical education locker room will be assigned to each student. During class, the lock should be placed on the locker with all belongings locked inside. Students are expected to provide their own lock. To keep your belongings safe, do not share your locker space or access with other students. Once class begins, students will not be allowed back into the locker room without permission from the teacher. Valuable belongings (jewelry, purses, and wallets) must be locked in a locker during class. The physical education staff will not be responsible for lost stolen articles. Students are to remain in the locker room or hallway until the bell rings and will then be able to attend the next class.

  1. Students are considered TARDY when the classroom’s door is shut and locked. Students will need to check in with the attendance secretary to receive a pass back to class. Tardies will be monitored as per student handbook.

 

  1. PARTICIPATION: We expect all students to actively participate in class. Students are listening, moving, and engaging in all activities with intent; as per directions by the teacher. Also refer to the Pyramid of Active Participation and Active Listening charts (walls of each gym--teacher will review). 

Instant Activity - Before class starts, students are expected to participate in the directed activity. Eg. If the instant activity lists jogging the corners. Upon arrival, the teacher should observe all students jogging the corners. This will be assessed in I value PE.   

 

Fitness Activity – Students are challenged to meet and/or exceed the goal of the fitness activity. We ask that students challenge their fitness (overload and intensity application) while also participating to meet the needs of their fitness making modifications if necessary (equipment, activity, and range of movement).
