Introduction to
Physical Education K to 7

The new physical education program emphasizes active living through participation in a balanced variety of movement experiences. Physical education is a requirement for all Kindergarten to Grade 10 students, and schools are expected to allocate 10% of instructional time to the subject. However, facilities, equipment, and time allocation vary widely. Therefore, the suggested instructional and assessment strategies in this Integrated Resource Package must be moulded to meet the needs and circumstances of particular school and community programs.

Principles of Learning

• Learning requires the active participation of the student.
