Evaluation
Grade 9 Physical Education consists of 13 different outcomes. These outcomes are divided into three different categories or focuses: Skill Based Outcomes, Fitness Related Outcomes, and
Theory Based Outcomes. Each student must successfully complete each outcome to receive a positive standing in the class. Evaluation for each outcome will be done using a four point scale or rubric. You must have a minimum of a two in each outcome to be considered in positive standing. Each student will have the opportunity to reassess outcomes at designated times to improve their standing in each outcome.
