In the 21st century, one of the main hot topics across all educational areas is, what does a grade really mean? If a student earns a B in PE...what does this mean?
Should Participation be included in the PE grade? As a PE teacher, this question continually crosses my mind. I know a grade is suppose to demonstrate mastery of knowledge...is participation knowledge or is it a technique/behavior used to learn and demonstrate knowledge? We could argue that participation entertwines into one of our standards...but is their a gray area?? This is an excerpt from a book written by Rick Wormelli (A well known Gradering expert): "Fair Isn't Always Equal"

This article and video talks about the accountability of PE. It questions the accountability of PE grades as to whether they are changing into pe clothes or not.
With obesity on the rise, it also talks about upping the number of minutes required in PE but at the same time questions the value of those minutes - this is a great question. With your PE minutes, what are you actually doing in your classroom?
Article: Fostering critical thinking in physical education students: learning "better thinking" skills helps students develop into autonomous sportspersons.

The article talks about the importance of using critical thinking skills in PE and how PE can help enhance critical thinking skills on a regular basis. The article gives some ideas on we already have our student use these skills along with some possible other ways to help enhance their critical thinking skills.
we have to grade on participation. but how do you show that? why give grades for PE. can't we just do a pass/fail? i do not what to be doing a lot of pen and paper work when our society is so overweight already!

This video described the HEAL technique of health and wellness. Healthy Eating Active Lifestyle I found the be an appropriate accronym to mesh P.E. & Health education.
I don't think the question is if particpation should be included in a PE grade. The question should really be how much should participation be considered in the grade. A student can participate on so many levles. We need to clearly define what it means to participate.

This article dicusses who/why peer assessment is beneficial for the students as well as the teacher. I find this information helpful because I need to find more ways to incorporate this into my classroom.

This is a good one where they give you a rubic for fitness goals and how you could evaluate the fitness goals that students develop. I think that I will look at this.

Article:Motivating students to be active outside of class: a Hierarchy for Independent Physical Activity
I found this article interesting as we continue to try and introduce activities to kids that they can do outside of school. It's very true that kids are not as active outside of school, and we neeed to keep taking a look at opportunities for them.
"Enhancing motivation in physical education: promoting intrinsic motivation, enhancing perceived physical competence, and creating a mastery-oriented environment will increase students' enjoyment of physical activity"
http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-142968246.html
This Article emphasizes how to motivate student to enjoy physical activity and understanding that it is a lifelong skill. It really made me think how I can integrate many motivational tactics.
