Physical Education: The Mission
The District Mission:
“The mission of the East China School District Physical Education Program is to help students
develop sufficient motor skills and behavior to perform and appreciate a variety of physical
activities that will empower all students to sustain regular, lifelong physical activity as a
foundation for a healthy, productive, and active lifestyle.”
The Staff Mission:
“The mission of the Physical Education Staff is to serve as a role model for healthy physically active
living. Expand skills through professional growth activities. Provide a safe, positive, and
supportive environment for all students. Will incorporate commonly held teaching
values, and continually assess students performances so that a positive and productive learning
environment will be provided.”
ECSD K-12 Physical Education 2003
What’s Changed?
While the Mission, Vision, and Curriculum outline have
remained the same within ECSD since 2003, the landscape of
Education has changed dramatically, especially with regard to
Data and Student Growth as a factor in Teacher Evaluation.
These changes, like all changes, have created a challenge…
The Challenge
Create a method within the current curriculum that
produces data (not exclusively subjective) illustrating student
growth across grades K-5
Obstacles to Consider
 One or Two 50 Minute Weekly Sessions
 Maintain Curricular Pace and Track Growth
 Student and Facility Changes
 Not all ECSD Elementary Schools are exactly alike
 Not all Students are the same one year to the next
 Missed Sessions
 Absences, Injuries, Snow Days, Field Trips, Assemblies
 Student Attitudes
 To deliver the Mission, P.E. needs to include fun and a variety of
opportunities for student success.
What We Do: Data Tracking
Lower Elementary (K-2)
Rubric assessment and recording of
the development of the following
Locomotor Skills:
 Walk/Gait
 Run
 Jump (Vert./Horiz.)
 Hop
 Skip
 Gallop
 Slide/Shuffle
 Leap

Upper Elementary (3-5)
Assessment of health related fitness
components and recording scores
on the following tests:
Push Ups (Upper Body
Strength/Endurance)
Pull Ups/Flexed Arm Hang
(Upper Body Strength &
Endurance)
Sit Ups/Curl Ups (Core Strength
& Endurance)
Sit and Reach/ V-Sit (Muscular
Flexibility)
Shuttle Run (Agility)
One Mile Run or Pacer Test
(Cardiovascular Endurance)
Lower Elementary
Rubric assessment of Locomotor skills relies on teacher
expertise and is slightly subjective.

objective data to assess growth.

The benefits of these tests as opposed to others:
Included within ECSD Curriculum
Provides Objective Data
Efficient Testing Times (1 Lesson Objective)
Student Enjoyment and Goal Setting
The Method
1.
All students are given their baseline assessment according to gradelevel (locomotor or fitness) prior to the end of Q1.
~3rd-5th Graders are informed of their scores for and shown the benchmarks for later testing. This helps
the goal setting and progress monitoring process as a part of curriculum.
2.
Throughout Q2 students are given short, informal practice
opportunities to build their skill set and work toward goals.
3.
Within Q3 a second round of testing is administered and recorded. If
a student is not satisfied with their score, additional opportunities are
made available.
4.
The Upper Elementary data is tracked in a database using Microsoft
Excel and Skyward. This allows data from multiple buildings to be
compiled into one student growth document.
What’s Produced?
With the changes in data requirements being relatively
recent, and the methods being a work in progress, data is in
its infant stages, but here is where we are going…

What’s Next?
 Continued collaboration and streamlining
 Looking at other district programs for further data tracking
options and procedures
 Development of greater building-to-building consistency for
administrative purposes
 Examine data and identify areas of concern or need
 Make necessary changes and adjustments
Most Importantly…
Continue to do good work, and stay the course in the
direction of the bottom line…
“Teach the skills and provide opportunities that will empower our students to participate in
lifelong physical activity and wellness.”
