• MCST Physical Education Syllabus

    WELCOME TO THE PE 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:

    • 50% Participation: This includes participation, Heartzones

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

    • 20% Tests / Fitness testing / Quizzes / Skills (objective, not subjective) 

                                                             ***Grades will be given every class.

    • Unprepared (0 for participation) Athletic sneakers that tie only; no boots, slip ons, etc.  An alternate assignment WILL NOT BE GIVEN in these circumstances.

    • Please be careful with jewelry (no watches/ hoops/ dangling earrings, etc.) 

    • No food or open beverages in class. This will be strictly reinforced. Water bottles, with lids, will be the only item allowed. No glass!  

    • All backpacks and belongings will be kept in the lockerroom and inaccessible for the entirety of the 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 to your post-fitness testing data and look for improvement.
    -It will be expected that you demonstrate an understanding of the rules of each game/activity and participate consistently 
    -HR Zones will be used every day and sent as a report at the end of class.  Your daily grade will be based on your intensity points earned during your class. 
    -Behavior will also be monitored throughout each class and graded through your CRP every two weeks. 

     

    HR Zones: 
    -Grading will be assessed through the HeartZones Monitoring System. 
    -Daily HeartZones FITT ( Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) points are calculated using the formula below

    Ex. 

         3.4                      x         1         x          60               = 204 points 
    (yellow zone)                frequency          minutes                 (FIIT)
                                        (class Period)      (will vary)

    -Daily grades will be input into Genesis on a 0 - 10 scale.
    -204/204 = 100% or a score of 10 for the day.
    -Individual arm bands are available for purchase through MySchoolBucks 
     
    Medical Assignments: 

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

    • If you are out for 1 class period, you will be given a daily medical assignment. Daily medical assignments can be found HERE, or accessible directly through the PE webpage
