Dr. Hansen said that in revising the curriculum, the committee considered the change in the district's philosophy, the state standards, advances in equipment and technology, and the societal need for a more active lifestyle for youth. Middle School physical education instructors Kit Schiefelbein, Jackie Barstad, and Joyce Pankratz shared some highlights of the new curriculum. The teachers spoke about the many new aspects of the program. Children are having fun and are learning more than just activity skills but are learning problem solving and team building as well as showing leadership skills. Grading for physical education is not based on ability but such factors as attendance, attitude, attire, participation, behavior, sportsmanship, and written tests.
Students are able to redo certain activities until they can master it.
