Introduction
Hello and welcome to my Physical Education class for the 2016-2017 school year. In
Physical Education, my class will be taught various games and activity levels, in which
designed to develop loco motor skills through three developmental stages. Through the
first developmental stage, students learn movement concepts through theme development
and body management skills. In developmental II, students are refined of fundamental
skills and initial specialized skills are emphasized. During this level, students are
introduced to sport skills. And finally through developmental III, students continue to
learn and improve sport skills but are more focused on manipulative activities. This level
also focuses on participation with cooperative sport lead up games.
Goals and Objectives
My goals and objectives for my students are based upon the National Physical Education

skills to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and

fitness.
