Curriculum
Core Competencies
The core competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiencies that students require in order to in order to engage in deeper learning. These include:
• Thinking
• Communication
• Personal and Social
These competencies are embedded in the learning standards and are present when students are engaged in the different activities.
Curriculum Model
The curriculum model is made up of three elements:
• Content - what students are expected to know (Ex, proper technique of different movement skills)
• Curricular Competencies - What students are expected to do (Ex. Demonstrate various skills)
• Big Ideas - What students are expected to understand (Ex. physical activity is important for our well-being)
The Physical and Health Education curriculum documents can be accessed at https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curriculum/physical-health-education.
Students Expectations
Students are expected to show expected behaviour in all Physical Education Classes. They are expected to:
• Respect themselves - come ready to participate, learn and give their best effort for that day
• Respect others - be kind to all others by showing whole body listening and demonstrating safe practices and fair play
• Respect the space and equipment - use equipment safely within the appropriate space (respect boundaries)
The consequences for not demonstrating expected behaviour includes:
• Warning
• Short time-out
• Longer time-out
• Sitting out for a class (observing)
• Phone call/E-mail home
Daily Lesson Sequence
There are three components to the daily lessons for all classes.
Warm up
• Tag games
• Dynamic warm ups
• Mini games related to current unit reviewing previously introduced skills/concepts
• Calisthenics
• Endurance runs
Lesson/Instruction Activities
• Introduce new skill, including purpose, technical aspects and what it should and should not look like
• Simple practice tasks (using new skill)
• Game related to skill (possibly using previously introduced skill(s))
• These activities get more complex as a unit progresses (allows them to combine the skills)
Cool Down/Discussion/Review
• Cool down games
• Stretches
• Discussion on technique, game tactics and or movement strategies
Assessment
• Self-assessment using 4 point scales (3 point for kindergarten) can include checklists, thumbs up/down and handouts.
• Peer assessment (paper or oral feedback in partner tasks working on skill)
• Teacher feedback (using paper charts and checklists as well as verbal feedback)
• Teacher assessment using 4-point scale (not meeting, approaching, meeting, exceeding).
