Standards and Benchmarks
Physical Education is a sequential, developmentally
appropriate educational program that provides students with
the knowledge, skills, fitness, and attitudes necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle.
The standards found in this document define what a student should know and be able to do as a result of a quality physical education program.
A quality physical education program addresses three critical
areas: a curriculum aligned with the Michigan content
standards and benchmarks, instruction and assessment, and
the opportunity to learn. These standards demonstrate that
physical education has meaningful, significant content and
measurable outcomes.
