The Academic Standards for Health, Safety and Physical Education (HSPE) describe what students should know and be able to do by the end of third, sixth, ninth and twelfth grade. The standards are sequential across the grade levels and reflect the increasing complexity and rigor that students are expected to achieve. The Standards define the content for planned instruction that will result in measurable gains for all students in knowledge and skill. School entities are to use the standards to develop school curriculum and assessments that will meet the needs of the students and define the requirements of proficiency. The Standards Aligned System (SAS) which is aligned to the HSPE standards is a tool to assist in the implementation of quality standards-based instruction and assessment.
The HSPE standards provide students with the knowledge and skills that will enable them to achieve and maintain a physically active and healthful life. The attainment of these standards will favorably impact their lives and the lives of those around them. By becoming and remaining physically, mentally, socially and emotionally healthy, students will increase their chances of achieving to their highest academic potential. While the SAS is broken down to Health, Safety and Physical Education, it must be noted that these three areas are interrelated. Each of these areas influences and impacts the other two.
The HSPE standards and the SAS provide parents with specific information about the knowledge and skills students should be developing as they progress through their educational programs. With the standards and the SAS serving as clearly defined targets, parents, students, teachers and community members will be able to become partners in helping children achieve educational success.
