    Welcome to AFSA Health and Physical Education Department! 

    It is my goal to help all students develop Physical literacy to have the ability to move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person.

    Physical Education National Standards 

    Standard 1: The physically literate individual demonstrates competency in a variety of motor skills and movement patterns.

    Standard 2: The physically literate individual applies knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement and performance.

    Standard 3: The physically literate individual demonstrates the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness.

    Standard 4: The physically literate individual exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others.

    Standard 5: The physically literate individual recognizes the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and/or social interaction.

     

    How Does Physical Literacy Connect to PE + PA?

    Physical Education (PE) develops the physically literate individual through deliberate practice of well-designed learning tasks that allow for skill acquisition in an instructional climate focused on mastery.

    During physical education class, students practice the knowledge and skills they have learned through physical activity (PA), which is defined as any bodily movement that results in energy expenditure.
