Course Description: PEI/Health is a required course for graduation.  Two thirds of the course includes a cluster of 2 – 3 week sport activities and personal fitness units.  The remaining third includes the state required health units. Health is a state guided curriculum of current issues that today’s teens face.   Health also includes the state required Reproductive Health and Safety Education/Abstinence until Marriage program.  An information packet for parents is attached to this syllabus.  Parents/Guardians should read the letter and select the appropriate program on the permission form, you want your child to take.  If you want your child exempted from this program, be sure to select the choice which states that your child “will not participate in the Abstinence until Marriage curriculum” and have your child return it to their teacher promptly.

 

Course Information:

Students will alternate physical education units and health units throughout the semester. (A tentative schedule will be given out but may alter due to uncontrollable circumstances usually relating to the weather or facility availability.)  Students will also engage in fitness testing and learn how to interpret their results, set goals, and develop activities/fitness programs to improve their levels of fitness. Students WILL be required to “dress out” in PE appropriate clothes every day regardless of what unit is scheduled.  Students will be engaged in physical activity daily.  Students will learn skills, concepts, and strategies of various sports and how they relate to fitness and more specifically the components of fitness.  Students will learn the importance of daily activity and the mental, emotional and physical benefits that come from regular participation in structured physical activity.  Student growth in physical fitness and cognitive content will be assessed periodically throughout the semester.
