Physical Education: Updated Guidance Documents Available

By Nirja Shah

Two widely used guidance documents have been revised to align with the new SHAPE America National Physical Education Standards:

  • Essential Components of Physical Education delineates the essential components that provide the structure for a physical education program, while also identifying physical education as a key element of a well-rounded education for all students.
  • The companion Physical Education Program Checklist provides administrators, teachers and parents with a practical tool to assess and strengthen their school’s physical education program.
