Physical Ed Introduction

Physical Education


The BPSS (PED) Physical Education Standards course in Learnbps is Bismarck Public School District's current progress on prioritizing and deconstructing standards to provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn. The standards are designed to provide guidance so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help students. Plus help students reflect on the knowledge and skills that they need for success.



Identifier Explanation

PED-05.S2.E5.5a

The Bismarck Public School District Standards-Based Progress Report displays grades at the Strand level. Therefore Bismarck Public School District has modified the North Dakota DPI Identifiers to fit into our student information system PowerSchool for Standards-Based grading. Above is a BPS-Standards PED identifier with smaller muted text showing the addition  to the identifier that are the components that BPS adds to the State code. Note: the biggest difference is the shift of the grade level E5 in middle of the state identifier to after PED-0.


PE Grade Levels

PED standards logoGrade Levels

The Physical Education Standards are organized into three grade-span levels; elementary, middle school, and high school.

HS

Elementary

The elementary grade-span level, covers kindergarten through 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 rhythmic activities/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 a physically active lifestyle.

Middle School

The middle school grade-span level, covers Grade 6 through Grade 8. By the end of Grade 8, the learner will apply tactics and strategies to modified game play; demonstrate fundamental movement skills in a variety of contexts; design and implement a health-enhancing fitness program; participate in self-selected physical activity; cooperate and encourage classmates; accept individual differences and demonstrate inclusive behaviors; and engage in physical activity for enjoyment and self-expression.

High School

The high school grade-span level refers to Grade 9 through Grade 12. By the end of high school, the learner will be college/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.

BPS Identifier System of the Standards

The individual Standards are organized by their Strand with each Standard having a unique identifier categorized by Subject-Grade Level.Strand.Standard. The Bismarck Public School District has modified the North Dakota DPI Identifiers to fit into our student information system PowerSchool for Standards-Based grading.
