Step 8

Evaluating and updating a curriculum and physical education program is a necessary but often overlooked step
Why evaluate:Keep curriculum/program current and dynamicEnsure that teachers are accountable to
providing students the best education possible Many others

Common Mistakes in Curriculum Design Most curriculums are dust collectors:
May use needless specificity which is not practical to implement on a daily basis or be too general such as a curriculum map only which does not define what students should be learning. The key is to strike a balance.
Huge disconnect between “theoretical curriculum” and the “implemented curriculum”
Micromanage and nobody pays attention (time in minutes, detailed schedule, little flexibility)
The curriculums you constructed have are useable on a daily basis in that the objectives relate to individual content areas, levels of game forms are specified, and a curriculum map provides a general overview.
Emphasis on curriculum planning but not lesson execution or assessment of learning
Does not address review of previously learned material Promotes thinking of activities as discrete skills followed by full games, no
intermediate steps
Curriculum Evaluation

Your ThoughtsWhat are some ways of evaluating a PE
program and its teachers?
Program & Teacher Evaluation
![Page 6: Evaluating Your Physical Education Curriculum and Program Step 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082821/5697bff31a28abf838cbc3d4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Program & Teacher Evaluation Teacher Observations
More formal measures than can be undertaken by colleagues or supervisory individuals:
Interaction analysis ALTPE Observation form
Informal measures: Answers to a series of open-ended responses given to a
teacher

Program and Teacher Evaluation- Indirect Measures Attendance, dress, and participation
If more than a couple students are continually sitting out or several just “hate PE,” the program is not meeting student needs. It’s often not an enjoyable place to teach either
After school program participation Non-school physical activity
Difficult to measure Remember, physical activity declines markedly from middle school
until the end of high school
Enrollment in elective classes

Program and Teacher Evaluation- Student Fitness Levels
Many schools choose to focus on Cognitive: Students create personal fitness plans Fitness scores: Based upon improvement or raw score
Some teachers object to assessing fitness scores due to innate differences between students. However, there are innate differences between students in math, writing, and other subjects, yet those teachers assess as a way to motivate and gauge student learning and program effectiveness.
Caution about Expecting all students to achieve a certain level Setting unrealistic criteria for particular tests (e.g., a 6-minute
mile)

Program and Teacher Evaluation- Student Feedback
Create a survey asking students about the effectiveness of the PE programExample

Program and Teacher Evaluation- Professional Development
Meet as a physical education department to address: Achievement of standards Improvements to the curriculum New upcoming projects/initiatives
This is a large problem. Elementary teachers often feel isolated. Middle school and high school teachers find it difficult to meet professionally due to scheduling, coaching, and non-PE faculty development. Teachers must MAKE the time, not look for a convenient time.
Otherwise, such vital meetings often do not take place.

Evaluation Summary
Utilize tools such as effective practices, PECAT, CT inventory, NASPE PE teacher evaluation and others to determine program quality
Good evaluation Informs programmatic change Occurs on a regular basis Is planned Is based on multiple data sources
Data should inform decision

Who Leads Program & Curriculum Evaluation? This is a problem area in physical education.
Very few school districts have physical education coordinators/ supervisors. Instead, there is typically one of the following HS department chair – has limited if any power to
evaluate teachers, programs, and curriculums. Administrator – has the authority but is not
knowledgeable about PE No supervisory structure – each teacher does “there
own thing”
