Quality physical education programs are organized around the NationalAssociation for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) national standards thatoffer direction and continuity to instruction and evaluation. -- II. Quality programs are student-centered and based on the developmental urges,characteristics, and interests of students.

III. Quality physical education programs make physical activity and motor skilldevelopment the core of the program. -- IV. Quality physical education programs teach management skills and self-discipline. -- V. Quality programs emphasize inclusion of all students. -- VI. Quality physical education programs focus instruction on the process of learningskills rather than on the product or outcome of the skill performance. -- VII. Quality physical education programs teach lifetime activities that students can useto promote their health and personal wellness. -- VIII. Quality physical education programs teach cooperation and responsibility andhelp students develop sensitivity to diversity and gender issues. -- Most States Receive a Failing Grade on Physical Education Requirements -- Highlights -- Recommendations for Action -- The Fight for Physical Education in the States -- Progress Made in Recent Years -- The Work Continues in 2006 -- HELPING THE KINESTHETIC LEARNER -- REFERENCES -- MOVEMENT FOR THE ADD AND ADHD CHILD -- REFERENCES -- NATIONAL STANDARDS AND NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND -- REFERENCES -- INTEGRATIVE ACTIVITIESFOR ENGLISH AND LANGUAGE ARTS -- ALPHABET PARADE -- Grade Level(s): K-1Standard(s): 1 -- MODIFICATIONS FOR VARYING GRADE LEVELS -- Grade Level(s): 2-4Standard(s): 1 & 4 -- NOUN OR VERB TO MOVEMENT -- Grade Level: 2-3Standard(s): 1, 4 & 6 -- IDENTIFYING SYLLABLES -- Grade Level(s): 1-2Standard(s): 1, 3 & 6 -- SYLLABLE RACE -- Grade Level(s): 1 & 2Standard(s): 1, 3 & 6 -- STORY EXERCISE -- Grade Level(s): 3-5Standard(s): 1, 4, 5, 6, 11 & 12 -- LOCOMOTORS TO PARTS OF SPEECH -- Grade Level(s): 1-2Standard(s): 1, 4, 5 & 6 -- VOCABULARY CHARADES -- Grade Level(s): 2-4Standard(s): 1, 4, 6, 11 & 12 -- WORD WALL WORDS -- Grade Level(s): 1-3Standard(s): 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6 -- ACT OUT PREPOSITIONS -- Grade Level(s): 3-4Standard(s): 6, 11 & 12.
