• MCST PHYSICAL EDUCATION SYLLABUS

    Welcome to the P.E and Health Department! 


    MCST PE Philosophy: 

    It is to engage and encourage students to focus on lifelong movement, problem solving, collaborative team thinking, teamwork, and individual success and to live out an active and healthy lifestyle that one can maintain for a lifetime. 

    Physical education is about student development, about teaching the whole student through a process. The focus is on lifelong movement, problem solving, collaborative team thinking, teamwork, and individual success. It is to engage and encourage students to achieve their personal best in an accepting and enjoyable environment.

     

    ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PASS 4 YEARS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION / HEALTH IN ORDER TO GRADUATE (STATE REQUIREMENT). You are expected to participate FULLY with good attitude and sportsmanship each day. 

    GRADING:

    • 55% Participation: This includes participation

    • 30% CRP (Career Ready Practice): Behavior, late to class, late assignments, quality of assignments, etc

    • 15% Tests / Fitness testing (improvement) / Quizzes / Skills (objective, not subjective) 

                                                             ***Grades will be given every class.

    Measuring Effort: 

    -We will be focusing on the five components of fitness and will begin by measuring your growth in all components.
    -We will compare your pre-fitness testing data (fall) to your post-fitness testing data (spring)  and look for improvement.
    -It will be expected that you demonstrate an understanding of the rules of each game/activity and participate consistently 
    -Behavior will also be monitored throughout each class and graded through your CRP every two weeks.

    • If you are physically or medically unable to participate and submit a DOCTOR/NURSE’S NOTE, adjustments will be made.
