The task force is indebted to the many professionals who reviewed drafts of the standards and outcomes and made valuable contributions that
strengthened this document. Among these professionals, several deserve special recognition for the thoroughness of their work, including Nan-
cy Schmitz, John Kruse, Tina Hall, Chuck Corbin, and Missy Parker and her graduate students at Northern Colorado University. The task force also
appreciates and acknowledges the exceptional foundation for this document built by previous task forces and committees, with the support of the
Board of Directors of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. These groups include the 1995 Standards and Assessment Task
Force, the Second Edition Writing Committee and the 2010 Exploratory Curriculum Framework Task Force:

National Standards for K-12 Physical Education
The goal of physical education is to develop physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to enjoy a lifetime
of healthful physical activity.
To pursue a lifetime of healthful physical activity, a physically literate individual*:
• Has learned the skills necessary to participate in a variety of physical activities.
• Knows the implications and the benefits of involvement in various types of physical activities.
• Participates regularly in physical activity.
• Is physically fit.
• Values physical activity and its contributions to a healthful lifestyle.
Standard 1. The physically literate individual demonstrates competency in a variety of motor skills and movement patterns.
Standard 2. The physically literate individual applies knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement
and performance.
Standard 3. The physically literate individual demonstrates the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of
physical activity and fitness.
Standard 4. The physically literate individual exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others.
Standard 5. The physically literate individual recognizes the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression
and/or social interaction.

Outcomes for Elementary School Students
(K – Grade 5)
By the end of Grade 5, the learner will demonstrate competence in fundamental motor skills and selected combinations of skills; use basic movement
concepts in dance, gymnastics and small-sided practice tasks; identify basic health-related fitness concepts; exhibit acceptance of self and others in physical
activities; and identify the benefits of physically active lifestyle.
Note: Swimming skills and water-safety activities should be taught if facilities permit.

Operational Definition of Activity Categories
Outdoor Pursuits: The outdoor environment is an important factor in student engagement in the activity. Activities might include, but are not limited to recre-
ational boating (e.g., kayaking, canoeing, sailing, rowing), hiking, backpacking, fishing, orienteering/geocaching, ice skating, skateboarding, snow or water skiing,
snowboarding, snowshoeing, surfing, bouldering/traversing/climbing, mountain biking, adventure activities and ropes courses. Selection of activities depends on
the environmental opportunities within the geographical region.
Fitness Activities: Activities with a focus on improving or maintaining fitness and might include, but are not limited to yoga, Pilates, resistance training, spinning,
running, fitness walking, fitness swimming, kickboxing, cardio-kick, Zumba and exergaming.
Dance and Rhythmic Activities: Activities that focus on dance or rhythms and might include, but are not limited to dance forms such as creative movement and
dance, ballet, modern, ethnic/folk, hip hop, Latin, line, ballroom, social and square.
Aquatics: Might include, but are not limited to swimming, diving, synchronized swimming and water polo.
Individual-Performance Activities: Might include, but are not limited to gymnastics, figure skating, track and field, multi-sport events, in-line skating, wrestling,
self-defense and skateboarding.
Games and Sports: Includes the games categories of invasion, net/wall, target and fielding/striking.
Lifetime Activities: Includes the categories of outdoor pursuits, selected individual performance activities, aquatics and net/wall and target games. Note: Invasion
games and fielding and striking games are not addressed in the secondary outcomes because those activities require team participation and are not well suited to
lifelong participation.
Outcomes for High School Students
(Grades 9 – 12)
By the end of high school, the learner will be college- or career-ready, as demonstrated by the ability to plan and implement different types of personal fitness
programs; demonstrate competency in two or more lifetime activities; describe key concepts associated with successful participation in physical activity; model
responsible behavior while engaged in physical activity; and engage in physical activities that meet the need for self-expression, challenge, social interaction and
enjoyment.
Note: Outcomes for high school students have been organized into two levels. Level 1 indicates the minimum knowledge and skills that students must attain to
be college- or career-ready. Level 2 allows students to build on Level 1 competencies by augmenting knowledge and skills considered desirable for college or
career readiness.
Note: Swimming skills and water-safety activities should be taught of facilities permit.
