STANDARD 2.5
(MOTOR SKILL DEVELOPMENT) ALL STUDENTS WILL UTILIZE SAFE, EFFICIENT, AND
EFFECTIVE MOVEMENT TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN A HEALTHY, ACTIVE LIFESTYLE.
Descriptive
Statement:
This standard
enables students to understand how to move and why it is necessary. When
individuals learn to move safely, effectively, and efficiently, and feel
comfortable and confident in the performance of motor skills, they are more
likely to participate in health-enhancing forms of physical activity throughout
life. In order to meet this standard, students must participate in a wide range
of developmentally-appropriate games, sports, dance, and lifetime recreational
activities that will help students develop and maintain a healthy, active
lifestyle.
