Elective physical education courses provide students with the opportunity to participate in physical activities for specific purposes. Students in elective physical education demonstrate the knowledge and understanding necessary to analyze movement performance in an activity of choice using scientific principles and implement effective practice procedures for skillful performance in specialized movement forms. Students apply advanced movement-specific information so that they develop the ability to learn, self-assess, and improve movement skills independently. Students may self-select an activity from a menu of options throughout the course. Examples of activity choices include aerobics, archery, dance, individual sports, lifelong activities, outdoor pursuits, yoga, Pilates, self-defense, team management, and weight training/conditioning. Students will participate in a pre/post fitness test or challenge and the student will create SMART goals for their own personalized fitness plan. Individual student assessment and information will be available to parents/guardians via the web-based program, WELNET, using a student secured login and password.
