| "Physical education programs
at Beloit Elementary School are child centered. This approach fosters the sequential
progression of motor, cognitive, emotional and social development. Children mature at
various rates, therefore, programs are flexible and designed to accommodate individual
differences. Planned programs and instructional strategies are used to provide
success-oriented experiences. Learners are challenged with stimulating, open-ended tasks
to gain confidence in attempting new learning experiences through educational games,
sports, dance, gymnastics and fitness activities. Academic learning time in physical
education classes dictates that each child has adequate time on task, equipment and space
to insure maximum practice opportunities. |
