Introduction:
Phys. Ed 12 is an opportunity to provide continued experiences and
skills to aid students towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle. To
facilitate this goal, Phys. Ed. 12 is divided into four concurrent
units:
Unit I: Outdoor Pursuits
With the goal of creating safe enjoyable outdoor pursuits the
components of this module are created in sequential order to foster
cumulative skills to enhance individual as well as team success.
Unit II: Exercise Science
Through this module it is expected that students will be able to
further appreciate the value of active healthy living. This module
will provide a valuable foundation for students to understand what
exercise science can offer when they begin considering career
options.
Unit III: Personal Fitness
All sport and
physical activities that students participate in involve a certain
level of fitness. The personal fitness module focuses on the
acquisition of skills that will allow students to evaluate their own
level of fitness as well as design and implement goals for improving
fitness.
Unit IV: Leadership
The leadership module focuses on providing students with
opportunities to develop and enhance leadership skills. Students
will be given the opportunity to demonstrate these skills
independently and in school or community groups.
Course Evaluation:
| Assignments and Evaluations | 25%-40% |
| Class Performance | 60%-80% |
The Department of Education clearly states that all students
must “have a change of clothing from their regular school
clothing to facilitated freedom of movement that normally
accompanies physical activity”.
