he Middletown Public Schools Health and Physical Education Curriculum for grades K‐12 was completed in June 2012 by a grade 8‐12 team of teachers. The team, identified as the Health and Physical Education Curriculum Writers referenced extensive resources to design the document that included but are not limited to:   

Best Practice, New Standards for Teaching and Learning in America’s Schools   Classroom Instruction That Works  Common Core Maps  Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects  Differentiated Instructional Strategies  Educational websites  Formative Assessment and Standards‐Based Grading, Classroom Strategies That Work, Marzano  Health Literacy for All Students, The Rhode Island Health Education Framework  Rhode  Island Department of Comprehensive Health Instructional Outcomes  The Rhode Island Physical Education Framework  Webb’s Depth of Knowledge  

The K‐12 Health and Physical Education Curriculum identifies what all students should know and be able to do in health and physical education. Each grade or course includes the Health Literacy for All Students, The Rhode Island Health Education Framework, Rhode  Island Department of Comprehensive Health Instructional Outcomes, The Rhode Island Physical Education Framework,  and the Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies,  Science and Technical Subjects,  research‐based instructional strategies, resources, map (or suggested timeline), rubrics,  and checklists.    The curriculum provides learners with a sequential comprehensive education in Health through study of Health Literacy for All Students, The Rhode Island Health Education Framework and Rhode  Island Department of Comprehensive Health Instructional Outcomes that include: 

1. Personal Health   2. Mental and Emotional Health  3. Injury Prevention   4. Nutrition 5. Sexuality and Family life 6. Disease Control and Prevention 7.       Substance Use and Abuse Prevention 

And through the study of Physical Education from The Rhode Island Physical Education Framework that include:  Movement forms  Motor skills  Benefits of physical activity  Physically active life styles  Responsible personal and social behavior  Internal and external environments that influence physical activity 

    

Define content standards— what students should know and be able to do in Health and Physical Education.   

STANDARDS FOR HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Mission Statement 

The mission of the Physical Education and Health program is to provide a well‐rounded education of the highest quality, based on research and best practice.   We are committed to empowering our students to maintain physically, emotionally, and socially healthy lifestyles in order to lead 

productive and fulfilling lives.

Define what all students should know and be able to do by the end of each grade.  Divide Common Core Standards into broad statements called the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards (CCR) for Reading Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Lanagage.  Provides grade level specificity that define the skills and understandings that all students must demonstrate.   

      

 The curriculum provides a list of research‐based best practice instructional strategies that the teacher may model and/or facilitate, e.g. 

Employs strategies of “best practice” (student‐centered, experiential, holistic, authentic, expressive, reflective, social, collaborative, democratic, cognitive, developmental, constructivist/heuristic, and challenging). 

Facilitates the integration of Applied Learning Standards (SCANS) o problem solving o communication  o critical thinking o research o reflection/evaluation.  

Differentiates instruction by varying the content, process, and product and implementing   Analyzes formative assessment to direct instruction.  Provides exemplars and rubrics.   Addresses multiple intelligences and brain dominance (spatial, bodily kinesthetic, musical, linguistic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, mathematical/logical, and naturalist).  Models the use of graphic organizers:  sequence organizers (chains, cycle), concept development (mind map), compare/contrast organizers (Venn diagrams, comparison charts), organizers 

(word web, concept map), evaluation organizers (charts, scales), categorize/classify organizers (categories, tree) relational organizers (fish bone, pie chart).   Employs Health Education best practices, e.g. 

o focuses on clear health goals and related behavioral outcomes o is research‐based and theory‐driven o addresses individual values and group norms that support health‐enhancing behaviors o focuses on increasing personal perceptions of risk and harmfulness of engaging in specific health risk behaviors and reinforcing protective factors o addresses social pressures and influences o builds personal competence, social competence and efficacy by addressing skills o provides functional health knowledge that is basic, accurate, and directly contributes to health promoting decisions and behaviors o uses strategies designed to personalize information and engage students o provides age‐appropriate and developmentally appropriate information, learning strategies, teaching methods and materials o incorporates learning strategies, teaching methods, and materials that are culturally inclusive o provides adequate time for instruction and learning o provides opportunities to reinforce skills and positive  health behaviors o provides opportunities to make connections with influential others o includes teacher information and plans for professional development and training that enhances instruction and student learning
