Before the holiday break, the PE curriculum adoption team met to review two additional PE curriculum options. The goal for this team is to select a curriculum to bring to the School Board in the spring for potential approval for implementation in the fall.
One was CATCH PE Journeys. CATCH PE Journeys is an evidence-based, developmentally appropriate, physical education curriculum that teaches physical literacy, movement skills, physical fitness, social-emotional learning, skill competency, and cognitive understanding about the importance of lifelong physical activity. More information about this option can be found at https://catch.org/program/physical-education/.
The other was Quaver Health and PE. Quaver Health &PE sets itself apart with an innovative platform that unites Health and PE, providing 408 ready-to-go lessons for a full school year. More information about this option can be found at https://www.quavered.com/healthandpe/.
Our next PE curriculum adoption meeting is January 23. If you would like more information on the curricula reviewed or would like to be part of the team, please contact Dana Jarnecke at djarnecke@masd209.org.
