PE 11 & 12

As we move further and further away from teacher centered, sport/skill based marking in physical education we ask that you as students learn to collect and reflect on the evidence of your own experience, effort and learning.

As a way to help you organize your thoughts, the following breakdown for the "four pillars" and thematic questions can be used, but you may move beyond these in your explanations.

1. Participation:

     This category includes all of the factors around your ability to participate and the quality of your participation of in-class activities. Some things to consider would include: 

• attendance and punctuality
• wearing gym strip & actually changing clothes at the end of class
• intensity of participation
• factors that influence work ethic and effort
• motivation behind your selection of activities on choice days

2. Social Responsibility and Contributions to the class:

    This category includes all of the factors that led to your improving skills around working with peers to make everyone's experience more successful. Some things to consider would include:

• leadership (organizing others, encouraging peers)
• examples of initiative (helping with equipment, helping with other classes without being asked to)
• positive energy and social energy during activities
• honesty during competition and on fitness scores
• connections with the community/volunteering

3.Healthy Living:

    This category includes all aspects of your past, current and future data and health/fitness goals. Some things to consider would include:

• Your actual fitness scores and what they teach you
• Noteworthy changes in fitness
• Barriers/limitations you face in participating
• Dietary choices, extra curricular activity choices and their impact on overall health
• Injury prevention, management and rehabilitation
• Future plans/goals for overall health choices

4. Digital Portfolio and Reflective Skills:

      This category includes all aspects of your blog posts. Some of the things to consider would include:

• The total collection of digital evidence and number of posts
• The quality of the selection of evidence as a demonstration of learning
• The quality of the summaries/explanations of the evidence (reflection of effort, new learning cited, goals/plans)
• The usefulness of comments on peers blog entries as part of a socially constructed learning and assessment
• Your ability to provide evidence of your learning
