  1. Physical Education in Elementary Schools By: Madey Costello Professor Kathryn Perry PE 106

  2. Advocating For • I am advocating that students should get at least 150 minutes of physical education in a week.

  3. More time in PE classes (Alabama Department of Education )

  4. Obesity Rates

  5. Childhood Obesity • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FOPaJqjCM0&feature=player_detailpage

  6. Schools Following PE Guidelines • University of Georgia professor Bryan McCullick looked at schools in all 50 states. • He found most schools are coming up short with PE guidelines. • In fact, he says only six states implemented enough gym time for elementary school students. (CNN 2012)

  7. Rockwood School District (Gregorian 2012)

  8. Federal Law • “While public health reforms have emphasized school-based physical education as a means of combating the childhood obesity epidemic, the study’s results found that courts typically do not interfere with state legislative decisions concerning curriculum.” (Huffington Post 2012)

  9. Recess (Inglee 2012)

  10. Core Subjects • Schools may be cutting time for physical education to increase time for other subjects, in the hope of raising standardized test scores. (Charles)

  11. KUTV News (KUTV News 2012)

  12. Understanding the Difference Between Physical Education and Physical Activity • Often the words are used interchangeably but they differ in important ways. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) believes every child in the United States deserves both a quality physical education and physical activity program. (NASPE 2012)

  13. A Quality Physical Educator • Instructional periods totaling 150 minutes per week (elementary) and 225 minutes per week (middle and high school) • Qualified physical education teachers providing a developmentally appropriate program • Teacher/student ratio in physical education no greater than 1:25 (elementary) and (1:30 middle/high) for optimal instruction (similar to other classroom settings) • Adequate equipment and facilities for all students to be active at the same time

  14. Academic Excellence •   Research shows that daily physical education has a positive correlation with academic performance and attitudes toward school. However, a June report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that nearly half of high school students had no physical education classes in an average week. (National Association for Sport and Physical Education 2012)
