Prerequisite: none
The goal of the physical education program of study at the secondary (adolescent) level is to provide students the opportunity to comprehend and experience the benefits of physical activity in their lives. The program consists of a plan of activities that demonstrates these benefits. Developing the major components of fitness (cardiorespiratory, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition) assures self-management skills necessary for an active lifestyle. To promote the concept of lifelong learning to personal health and wellness, the secondary physical education program reinforces the major components of the other programmatic levels: lifetime wellness, social skills, motor skill development, movement/rhythmic development and physical activity. Safety must be stressed in all courses and activities. West Virginia Code 18-2-7a requires the President's Physical Fitness Test (PFFT) be administered to all students enrolled in the required physical education course at the secondary level. In addition to the required course offered at this level, elective course development is encouraged. These courses must expand and enhance the areas of lifetime wellness, motor skills development, technology development, social skills development, and physical activity. Examples of electives include, but are not limited to: personal fitness, conditioning and weight training, individual and dual sports, aerobic activities, and outdoor education. |

Credit: 1 unit
Prerequisite: none
This program of study builds on the foundation established in the K-9 health education curriculum and prepares students to become wise health care consumers and responsible, productive citizens. The relationships among personal, community and world health and economic, cultural, sociological and biological factors are examined in interdisciplinary discussions, debates and class projects. Students examine personal health choices and the connection to the world of work and assumption of adult roles. In-depth analysis of current health issues and concepts coupled with school-wide opportunities that promote and reinforce the importance of good health positive choices need to be coordinated to behaviors, however instruction must also emphasize limiting the negative consequences of high risk personal perception of risk, the ability to recognize and resist social pressures and the skills to build positive social relationships. |
