Skill (20%) – Summative skill assessments based on individual student
performance on rubrics designed for each unit.
Knowledge (20%) – Summative written assessments of rules, skills,
and basic strategies.
Formative (20%) – formative grades come from practice and warm-up stretching/running activities.
Physical activity/Behavior and Physical activity/Fitness are daily grades.
Each day you receive 5 points in each area for 10 points total. So doing
well in your daily work is important (changing for class, following directions,
participating).
You will have at least one skill test for each unit. Also in the skills category
we will put all fitness testing results. Just like any other class, if you score
low in any skill/fitness test, you can do work outside of class to improve.
If you can only do 2 push ups or can’t jog for 5 minutes, then you should
practice those at home and try to improve.
You will have one – two knowledge test for each unit. Because of that you
will need to do your best on those tests. 20% of your grade will be from
those test results.
