Effort & ParticipationA student's effort & participation grade will fall into one of three categories:
Demonstrates Consistency
Student can demonstrate all critical elements of the assessed content area (skill, movement pattern, concept, knowledge, behavior or effort) within a variety of physical environments. Quality consistently meets, exceeds or applies in an established nature based on the grade level outcomes. Demonstrates Progress
Student can demonstrate the basic critical elements of the assessed content area (skill, movement pattern, concept, knowledge, behavior or effort). Quality is of a maturing, developing or functional nature based on the grade level outcomes. Area for Improvement
Student needs deliberate practice and support of the assessed content area (skill, movement pattern, concept, knowledge, behavior or effort). Quality is still emerging or rudimentary based on the grade level outcomes. |
Students begin accruing MVPA (Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity) time when they are moving at a speed of 110+ steps per minute. The pedometers also measure overall activity time (moving at any intensity) and the number of steps (which can be converted into distance) students travel in a given class period. They can view the chart above at the end of each class to see how active they were for the day.

What Makes Up the Effort & Participation Grade?
Sitting OutStudents are expected to participate fully in all physical education activities.
|
MVPA TimeOn most days, students wear a pedometer/accelerometer that measures all three dimensional movement - forwards, backwards, up, down, right and left. They are looking to accrue as many minutes of MVPA as possible.
|
OtherOn occasion, there may be additional assignments or activities students are asked to complete. This would be something done outside of school.
