Planning a Standards-Based Lesson

You have a copy of your national, state, or district physical education standards. Now what?

With the focus on student learning, a standards-based instruction approach is different from what many physical educators are familiar with. How do you use the standards to plan lessons for your students? How is standards-based instruction different from what you may be doing already?

This video answers these questions and more. You'll learn the basics of standards-based instruction and how this approach to instruction is critical for developing a student’s physical literacy. An easy to follow 5-step process for planning standards-based lessons is shared and a standards-based lesson is modeled to allow you to see what it looks like when theory is put into practice.
