Physical Education (PE Personal Statement) National Standards

The US Government has the following criteria for meeting what a physically educated person actually does.  The core curriculum for my physical education classes that I taught was to align each lesson to support the development of the following national PE standards, as well as state PE standards too.  Being physically educated leads to empowerment of healthy choices and a lifetime of fitness. 

National PE Standards:

Standard 1: Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities.

 Standard 3: Participates regularly in physical activity. 

Standard 4: Achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of physical fitness. 

Standard 5: Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings.   

Standard 6: Values physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction.
