5) PSDPE K-12 Performance Rubrics (Standard 1 skills)
==Standardized performance rubrics will guide instruction and provide consistency in determining the level of student movement competence mastery of what is taught across PSD. In order to ensure consistency and inter-rater reliability in PSDPE teacher assessment of student proficiency levels, both written and video guides will be created and shared among PSDPE teachers.==

5) PSDPE Common Grading Scale (and, ideally, art, music, technology and other specials):
==Alignment of the PSDPE grading scale through GradeBook (elementary level at minimum) is crucial as this would align our routine instructional assessment with the “student growth” model as well as the state standards rubrics that have been created. It is understood that HS and MS may have some constraints on their scales, however it would be advantageous for those levels to adopt this approach to assessment and this scale for grading as well.==

6) PSDPE Assessment Scenarios:
==Determine what will be specifically assessed in each grade level across PSD and the ways to apply the assessment rubric proficiency criteria (written, video, etc.) in a valid, reliable, efficient, and enjoyable manner that doesn’t reduce our 50 min. average instruction time.==

7) PSDPE Assessment Guidelines and Considerations:

 * ==Elementary Assessment is based on a two year curriculum teaching cycle (i.e. PSD sports and recreation activities rotate on two-year basis to ensure effective breadth and depth of experience in all areas.)==
 * ==Elementary Assessment will cover 1 year of physical skills objectives (Standard 1) and 2 years of content knowledge (Standard 2, 3, 4 objectives).==

==Note: Currently the Colorado State Comprehensive Health Standards which support the PE/Health Standards are not being taught as part of the Science (Human Body) curriculum in PSD (FOSS). This crucial content knowledge allows the PE teacher to act as the "lab" teacher in coordination with the "class" teacher whose lessons the "lab" teacher can refer to and have students apply in the PE class environment. Without this background knowledge, PSD students are being deprived of key science, health, and wellness instruction. The PE teacher cannot adequately cover this material in the 50 min. /week avg. PSD class time. PSD Wellness/PE/Health leaders and many community supporters are designing "event-based" standards-enriched learning experiences that will impart this key content in PSD schools in a way that is effective and enjoyable for students to simultaneously learn and apply their knowledge in a way that will not impose unreasonable extra work or expense for classroom teachers and PSD elementary sites.==


 * ==Elementary will assess at three levels K-5 in 1st, 3rd, and 5th (5th next year) (It is also recommended that we create a PSD-wide Kindergarten PE screening to be performed at the beginning of 2nd semester of kindergarten to identify any significant student psychomotor needs that could be targeted/remedied before first grade. (not for state assessment purposes)==


 * ==Secondary Assessment will cover the current semester's class skills and content==


 * ==In order to measure student growth health and physical education with all PSDPE high school students, we need to have a mandatory 5 credit (1 semester) introductory physical education class (PE1) and a 5 credit Health and Fitness class - Graduation Requirement==


 * ==Under the present circumstances no waivers should be allowed because the Standards-based lifestyle health, fitness, broad variety of skills, and wellness concepts are not necessarily covered in sports activities (although they could be with future planning)==


 * ==Note: A possible option could be to allow waiver seeking individuals to "test out" of the PE 1 and Health and Fitness class demonstrating skills and knowledge with a proficient test score on the assessment might be considered==


 * ==Currently we have several high school classes that, together, approximate the combined PE and Health standards for high school:==
 * ==“Health and Wellness” FCHS==
 * ==“Foundations of Health and Wellness” RMHS==
 * ==“PE1” for I.B. students at PHS==
 * ==”Health” FRHS==
