Need for Physical Education Standards
Standards are statements that define what students should know and be able to do upon completion of specific levels of instruction. Standards serve as a gauge for excellence and are differentiated from minimum competencies or outcomes because they describe the challenging goals aspired to for expanding and improving physical education. The Indiana Physical Education Standards were adopted by the State Board of Education in November 2008 to fulfill IC 20-10.1- 17 - 3 which states, “The board shall adopt clear, concise, and jargon-free state academic standards that are comparable to national and international academic standards.”
Literacy Standards
The Literacy Standards emerged with the Indiana State Board of Education’s adoption of the Common Core State Standards in the area of Reading and Writing for Literacy in Technical Subjects (PE is considered a technical subject in this context). They establish that instruction in reading and writing is a shared responsibility and make it clear that significant reading of informational texts should take place outside English/Language Arts (ELA) classrooms. Part of the motivation behind this disciplinary approach to literacy is extensive research on the need for students to be proficient in reading complex informational text independently in a variety of content areas in order to be ready for college or a career. In these settings, most of the required reading is informational in structure and challenging in content. The Literacy Standards represent the processes and skills that students are expected to know and be able to do within the context of PE content. They are meant to complement rather than supplant the PE academic standards. Starting in 2014-15, assessments over these standards will replace ISTEP+ and will cover all the reading students do in a grade, not just their reading in the ELA context. The Literacy Standards are organized in the following grade bands: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12. Within each grade level or grade band, the Literacy Standards ask students to read and write within the discipline of PE. In the K-2 and 3-5 grade bands, PE teachers will implement the embedded ELA reading standards for informational text and writing standards. In grade bands 6-8 and 9- 12, teachers will implement the Common Core State Standards for Literacy in Technical Subjects. The Literacy Standards in all grade bands are organized into 10 reading and 10 writing standards. However, PE teachers are NOT responsible for teaching all 20 Literacy Standards. A determination of the applicable Literacy Standards was created through a collaborative process. The applicable literacy standards have been noted in this document and when combined with the Academic Standards for Physical Education, should guide teachers in what standards they are responsible for teaching. It is imperative to keep in mind that the Literacy Standards use grade level and grade bands to present the standards. Teachers teaching at the beginning of the grade level or grade band may need to provide scaffolding for students to be successful, where teachers teaching at the end of
4 KINDERGARTEN LITERACY STANDARDS FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Reading for Literacy in PE
The following standards offer a focus for instruction each year and help ensure that students gain adequate exposure to a range of texts and tasks. Rigor is also infused through the requirement that students read increasingly complex texts through the grades.

Writing for Literacy in PE
The following standards offer a focus for instruction to help ensure that students gain adequate mastery of a range of skills and applications. Each year in their writing, students should demonstrate increasing sophistication in all aspects of language use, from vocabulary and syntax to the development and organization of ideas, and they should address increasingly
5 demanding content and sources. Students advancing through the grades are expected to meet each year’s grade-specific standards and retain or further develop skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades. Text Types and Purposes K.W.1 Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose opinion pieces in which they tell a reader the topic or the name of the book they are writing about and state an opinion or preference about the topic or book (e.g., My favorite book is…) ( This standard not required in PE). K.W.2 Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic. K.W.3 Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to narrate a single event or several loosely linked events, tell about the events in the order in which they occurred, and provide a reaction to what happened ( This standard not required in PE). Production and Distribution of Writing K.W.4 (Begins in grade 3) K.W.5 With guidance and support from adults, respond to questions and suggestions from peers and add details to strengthen writing as needed ( This standard not required in PE). K.W.6 With guidance and support from adults, explore a variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing, including collaboration with peers ( This standard not required in PE).

Example: Express enthusiasm and enjoyment while being physically active (e.g., choose favorite games to play; willingly participate in learning new movement skills; choose to be active at recess). Standard 4 Health-Enhancing Physical Fitness: Students achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness. Young children engage in a variety of physical activities that serve to promote an active lifestyle. The development of students’ health knowledge and movement skills begin in kindergarten. Improvement of students’ physical fitness abilities will continue to develop. K.4. 1 Demonstrate improved cardiorespiratory endurance. Example: Engage in vigorous activity, progressing from short periods to longer periods of time (e.g., chasing and fleeing physical fitness activity/game, skill development
8 activity, walk/run at one’s individual pace at an outdoor fitness trail; playground fitness stations). K.4. 2 Demonstrate improved muscular strength and endurance. Example: Improve upper body and abdominal strength by engaging in specific exercises throughout the school year (e.g., shoulder touches, modified push-ups, v-sit, modified crunch). K.4.3 Demonstrate improved flexibility in three different joints. Example: Demonstrate engagement in specific stretches to improve lower back flexion (e.g., seated and standing straddle stretches, seal stretch). K.4.4 Identify the basic effects of physical activity on heart and lung function. Example: Observe and feel fast heart and breathing rates when engaged in skill development and physical fitness activities (e.g., feel a slow heart rate and observe a slow breathing rate before skill and fitness stations begin, after ten or more minutes feel and observe fast heart and breathing rates). Standard 5 Responsible Personal and Social Behavior: Students exhibit responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings.

Example: Demonstrate eye-hand and eye-foot coordination in skill development practice/activities and physical fitness activities/games (e.g., with a baseball bat hit a ball off a tee; consecutively catch self-tossed beach ball; kick a ball with power; bounce or
13 Standard 3 Physical Activity: Students participate regularly in physical activity. Students begin to understand how being physically active contributes to their health. Regular participation in physical activity enhances the physical and psychological health of the body, provides for social opportunities, and contributes to quality of life. Students learn to enjoy physical activity and discover that hard work is required to learn new skills. They engage in developmentally appropriate activities that help them improve movement competence. 1.3.1 Engage in health-related physical fitness activities or games during physical education class, recess, and/or or leisure time with one’s family and friends. Example: Participate in physical fitness activities/games, playground activities, swimming, walking, riding a bicycle, playing in the snow, and/or tennis. 1.3.2 Record participation in physical activities by type of activity and time. Example: Write and draw periodically in a student activity portfolio about the physical fitness activities/games and/or sport skills that one enjoys playing to be healthy. Standard 4 Health-Enhancing Physical Fitness: Students achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness. Young children engage in a variety of physical activities that serve to promote an active lifestyle. In first grade, students begin to understand the effects of physical activity on the body: increased heart rate, increased rate of respiration and an increase in perspiration during exercise. They participate in activities of various intensities and can describe the changes these activities produce within their bodies. Improvement of students’ physical fitness is expected. 1.4.1 Demonstrate how increasing the intensity of an activity will increase the heart rate. Example: Describe and monitor the difference in the heart rate during a five minute warm-up walk, run or stretching as compared to 20 minutes of motor skill development and physical fitness stations. 1.4.2 Describe the basic effect of regular exercise on muscles. Example: Compare the scores from three exercise trials and draw conclusions (e.g., at the beginning of the school year, record the score achieved for a specific muscle group exercise; complete mid-year and final year-end trials). 1.4.3 Perform exercises for muscle groups that are strengthened by specific exercises.
14 Example: Identify and perform the exercises which strengthen the abdominal muscles and those which strengthen the arm muscles (e.g., v-sit, modified crunch, shoulder touches, modified push-ups, crab walk, partner over and under push-ups). 1.4.4 Participate in activities that increase cardiorespiratory endurance. Example: Demonstrate engagement in physical fitness activities and describe the effects of exercise on the heart and lungs (e.g., increased heart and breathing rates, increase in perspiration). 1.4. 5 Demonstrate stretches that will improve flexibility. Example: Demonstrate standing straddle toe touch, splits, lunge, and seal stretches. 1.4. 6 Participate in an active physical education class to maintain age appropriate intensity and duration for improved physical fitness. Example: Participate in skill development activities and/or games for 20 minutes or more in each physical education class to maintain or improve cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength and endurance, and flexibility (e.g., partners take turns to run/walk a lap, with the non-runner choosing a skill development practice station, combined with 20 second periodic breaks for upper body and abdominal exercises and stretching; obstacle course designed with a variety of movement and physical fitness challenges). Standard 5 Responsible Personal and Social Behavior: Students exhibit responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings. Students develop respect for individual similarities and differences through positive interaction among participants in physical activity. Variations exist in motor performance, mental and physical abilities, physical characteristics, race, and socioeconomic status. Cooperation and teamwork promote personal and group success in activity settings. Students learn and apply safety practices. 1.5.1 Identify and demonstrate safety practices and personal responsibility during physical education class, recess and after school physical activities. Example: Describe safety rules for participating in activities/games with boundary lines (e.g., play in the area identified with cones or lines) in which everyone is moving, and activities/games that involve objects being thrown (e.g., maintain personal space, maintain ready hands and eyes, wear tennis shoes, keep hair out of eyes). 1.5.2 Demonstrate and apply an understanding of rules and directions for an active class.
16 Example: Show creativity in a partner Follow the Leader game with bouncing (dribbling) a ball (e.g., one student, as a leader, creates a ball bouncing sequence as a classmate follows). 1.6.4 Express enthusiasm for participating in physical activity.

Knowledge and application of movement concepts (body, spatial, directional, and temporal awareness), relationships, and strategies enhance independent learning and effective participation in physical activity. 2.2.1 Identify and demonstrate efficient movement with objects that present balance, change of direction and spatial awareness challenges. Example: Successfully navigate through an obstacle course (e.g., over and under hurdles, stepping stones, travel over tires, crawl through a tunnel, travel through a mat maze, jump down from a height, walk on a balance board carrying an object). 2.2.2 Identify and begin to demonstrate techniques for efficient and safe movement. Example: Demonstrate straight arms with a cartwheel; a landing with soft knees/slight flex when jumping down from a height; jumping on balls of the feet and keeping arms and hands at sides when jumping rope. 2 .2. 3 Identify and apply the basic elements for efficient locomotor, nonlocomotor, stability, and manipulative skills. Example: Verbally identify and practice the basic elements for gallop (e.g., moving forward: step, together, step, together); cartwheel (e.g., straight arms and hand, hand, foot, foot); overhand throw to a target (e.g., opposite shoulder points to the target, elbow back, ball back, step and turn to face target, throw); jumping rope (e.g., jump softly on balls of feet, keep arms and hands at sides when turning the rope); jumping from a 1 to 3 foot height (e.g., balanced landing with soft knees/slight bend and arms extend out). 2.2. 4 Understand and demonstrate strategies for active games.
20 Example: Recognize and apply basic strategies in playing games (e.g., small-sided defense and offense skills in an indoor soccer leadup game played with four high density foam balls; fast running, dodging and agility skills in a tag game). 2.2. 5 Develop selected academic concepts to integrate in fitness workouts and/or games. Example: Apply interdisciplinary connections while jumping rope by solving math problems or spelling words (e.g., jump the answer to a math problem: 5 + 8; spell words with warm-up exercises: day of the week, words from spelling lists, names of muscles; body, muscles, and bones quiz station in a physical fitness activity). Standard 3 Physical Activity: Students participate regularly in physical activity. Second grade students enjoy learning new skills and they recognize their developing competence in movement abilities. Enjoyable and challenging physical activity will develop self- confidence and promote a positive self-image. They observe positive attitudes of athletes and family members engaged in physical activity. 2.3.1 Participate actively in all physical education classes and in unorganized or organized physical fitness and play opportunities during after school time.
