Appropriate Instructional Practice Guidelines, K-12:A Side-by-Side ComparisonSHAPE America – Society of Health and Physical EducatorsThe following grid includes developmentally appropriate and inappropriate practices in elementary, middle and highschool physical education classes. The grid organizes the practices into five separate sections:1.2.3.4.5.Learning EnvironmentInstructional StrategiesCurriculumAssessmentProfessionalismEach section is broken down into subsections that focus on specific areas of concern in physical education. 2009, SHAPE America – Society of Health and Physical Educators, www.shapeamerica.org.All rights reserved.1

The Learning Environment section includes: Establishing the Learning Environment Exercise as Punishment Safety Diversity Equity Inclusion Competition & CooperationThe Instructional Strategies section includes: Expectations for Student Learning Class Organization Class Design Learning Time Maximum Participation Teaching/Learning Styles Teacher Enthusiasm Success Rate Teacher Feedback Technology UseThe Assessment section includes: Assessment Use Variety of Assessments Fitness Testing Testing Procedures Reporting Student Progress Grading Program AssessmentThe Curriculum section includes: Productive Motor Skill Learning Experiences Concept Knowledge Regular Participation Developing Health-Related Fitness Self-Responsibility & Social Skills Valuing Physical Activity Interdisciplinary Instruction Special EventsThe Professionalism section includes: Professional Growth Professional Learning Community AdvocacyThe practices mentioned are not meant to be an exhaustive list. These are basic instructional practices. Many other practicesthat would be included in an excellent program are not enumerated here. But the list does include the practices observed recentlyin gymnasiums, pools and fields across the United States. 2009, SHAPE America – Society of Health and Physical Educators, www.shapeamerica.org.All rights reserved.2
