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.


Is this what we want to be? Is this cutting edge?
