La. Admin. Code tit. 28 § LIII-701

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024

Section LIII-701 - Introduction

A. By the end of grade 8, the learner will:

1. apply tactics and strategies to modified game play;

2. demonstrate fundamental movement skills in a variety of contexts;

3. design and implement a health-enhancing fitness program;

4. participate in self-selected physical activity;

5. cooperate with and encourage classmates;

6. accept individual differences;

7. demonstrate inclusive behaviors; and

8. engage in physical activity for enjoyment and self-expression.

B. Physical education classes support student development of the necessary skills to achieve each standard and outcome at a proficient level. Dodgeball and drills that may lead to aggressive behaviors shall be closely supervised and shall emphasize overall physical fitness while supporting the emotional and physical safety of the students.

C. Reading the Standards: There are five standards listed for middle school (grades 6-8) requirements for Louisiana students including daily physical education for students. In the standards below, the first number listed is the number of the corresponding standard. The second letter or number identifies to which grade level the statement pertains. Directly following the hyphen, the number listed states which component within that standard the statement refers. Lastly, the final number recognizes the grade level expectation (GLE). Here is how to interpret each coded outcome:

1. example: [1.6-1.3] Perform simple dance sequences:

a. 1 = the first number listed provides what standard is being identified; in this case, standard one. (This could be 1-5, depending on the standard);

b. 6= the number or letter listed provides the level targeted; in this case, sixth grade;

c. 1= the number or letter listed provides the component being targeted within the standard; in this case, the first component related to the standard;

d. 3 = this number listed provides the expectation within that component; in this case, the third expectation a student should be able to complete.

2. Note. Lesson plans, unit plans, and assessments that identify the standard being addressed will often cover and/or include more than one component outcome, and possibly more than one standard.

3. The following terms are used throughout the standards as performance indicators:

a. E = emerging-students participate in deliberate practice tasks that will lead to skill and knowledge acquisition;

b. M = maturing-students can demonstrate the critical elements of the motor skills and knowledge components of the grade-level expectations, which will continue to be refined with practice;

c. A = applying-students can demonstrate the critical elements of the motor skills and knowledge components of the grade level expectations in a variety of physical activity environments.
