Physical education is the planned sequential instruction created to develop motor skills, physical fitness, and sports’ skills.  Through movement, students will experience opportunities to utilize decision making and problem solving skills as well as to enhance mental, social, and emotional abilities.  In order for physical education to be effective, it must include a variety of engaging activities, an ongoing assessment, and use of technology.  The ultimate goal of physical education is for all students to embrace the challenge of a physically active lifestyle.
