Goal 1

STANDARD ONE: Students will develop competency in all fundamental movement skills and proficiency in some movement forms.

Indicator 1: Students will model complex locomotor movement patterns in specialized activities.

6-8 Benchmarks:

  1. maintain mature form in complex locomotor movement patterns.
  2. adapt locomotor movement patterns to the demands of an unpredictable situation within activities and/or games.
  3. analyze the effectiveness of transferring complex locomotor movement patterns into specific activities and/or games.
6-8 Level Sample Activities/Tasks:
  1. perform a contemporary dance
  2. play 3 on 3 basketball
  3. execute a triple jump

 Indicator 2: Students will apply correct technique when performing complex manipulative movement patterns in specialized activities

6-8 Benchmarks:

  1. maintain mature form in complex manipulative movement patterns.
  2. adapt manipulative movement patterns to the demands of an unpredictable situation within activities and/or games.
  3. analyze the effectiveness of transferring complex manipulative movement patterns into specific activities and/or games.
6-8 Level Sample Activities/Tasks:
  1. utilize kicking, dribbling, throwing, catching, and trapping skills during a speedball game
  2. legally manipulate the puck during a floor hockey game
  3. place a tennis ball away from an opponent while keeping it within a designated area

 Indicator 3: Students will exhibit a mature kinesthetic sense in non-locomotor/stability movement patterns in specialized activities.

6-8 Benchmarks:

  1. react to various forces to maintain static or dynamic balance while performing intermediate skills.
  2. maintain body equilibrium in intermediate movement patterns in modified physical activities and/or games.
  3. analyze the effectiveness of kinesthetic adjustments made during intermediate non-locomotor/stability movement patterns.
6-8 Level Sample Activities/Tasks:
  1. dribble a ball while hopping on the non-dominant foot
  2. perform three tumbling skills in succession
  3. maintain a level plane for 5 seconds on a balance board
