National Physical Education Standards
Learning Progressions Guidance Did you know? The new SHAPE America National Physical Education Standards are organized into grade-span learning indicators that help unpack the overall standard statement and articulate the content within that standard. To help you further unpack each standard, the textbook National Physical Education Standards, Fourth Edition, includes new learning progressions for your use! The learning progressions address the varying performance levels that students may display when moving toward skill competency and the promotion of mastery.

Grade-Span Learning Indicators
The National Physical Education Standards serve as overarching goals for physical education curricula.
Grade-span learning indicators articulate content areas and show more specific goals that lead toward progress of the standards.
Why is this important? You can use the learning progressions to track observable and measurable student progress, differentiate instruction, and assist with your planning!
