GENERAL STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION 10G

General student learning outcomes are broad statements identifying the knowledge, skills,

Student Responsibility Guidelines for Assessment and Evaluation
Students actively engaged in their learning are the essence of the Brandon School Division’s mission of educating the whole
child.

The assessment, evaluation and reporting of student learning and achievement involves students, teachers, principals, parents,
superintendents and the Board of Trustees. It is the responsibility of professional educators to assess, evaluate, and report on
each student’s degree of engagement and resulting learning outcomes. Such assessment, evaluation and reporting is a
continuous and fundamental part of the student’s learning process. Students are responsible for:

 their own learning with the expertise, assistance and motivation of their teachers;
 engaging individually and collectively in school/community learning opportunities;
 improving their learning involvement
 playing an active role in assessing their own learning
 providing evidence of their learning within established timelines

The purpose of this document is to identify student responsibilities in assessment and evaluation practices, provide clear
guidelines and consequences so students can make informed decisions, and to provide structures that improve the relationship
between student learning and assessment.

All assessments and/or evaluations will be assigned a reasonable completion date by the classroom teacher.

When a student demonstrates negligence and/or disregard towards the assessment and/or evaluation due date, the teacher
can assign a “0” grade for the incomplete assessment and/or evaluation.

For a “0” grade to remain permanent on the student’s record for that unit of study, a teacher’s records will demonstrate that
he/she had advised the student and the parent/guardian that there was an opportunity to complete the original assessment or
an alternate assessment, but that it would have been penalized in accordance to divisional guidelines.

Penalization for late assessments is as follows:

 Grade 9 – 10%
 Grade 10 – 15%
 Grade 11 – 20%
 Grade 12 – 25%
Example: Grade 10 student receives 80% for a late assessment. The penalty for the late assessment would be (80) (0.15)=12 .
The adjusted mark would be 80-12=68%.

Once the late assessment is marked, the penalized assessment mark will replace the “0” grade that was originally assigned to
the student by the teacher.

If the original or alternate assessment is not submitted by the new completion date or if the student refuses to submit a
required assessment, the “0” grade assigned to it will remain on the student’s evaluation records. The “0” grade(s) will be
calculated into the student’s final mark for the unit of study and will be used in the calculation of the final grade of the course.

PARENTAL NOTES - CONFIRMATION OF ABSENCES

1. A student who is in school will participate in Physical Education to the best if their abilities on that given day.
2. For any absence, a phone call must be made to the main office (729-3170) the same day to excuse your absence. Leave
message on answering machine. If your parents/guardians do not call, your absence will remain an unexcused absence. This
is according to school policy. If you are going to be away for an extended period please notify your instructor ahead of time.

Extended Medical Absences

If the doctor confirms your child has a long term medical excuse, they will still be expected to “dress” and participate in some
alternative activities suggested by the Physician. If the student is unable to participate for an extended period of time, student
services (counselors) will be notified and a decision on the continuation of the credit will be made.

Parents and students are reminded that all students must receive at least a grade 9, 10, 11, and 12 Physical Education Credit in order

ELEMENT OF RISK NOTICE

Vigorous physical activity is essential for normal, healthy growth and development. Growing bones and muscles require not only
good nutrition, but also the stimulation of vigorous physical activity. Active participation in games and fitness activities along
with various indoor/outdoor pursuits provides opportunities for the students to gain the confidence necessary to pursue a
physically active lifestyle. Physical education programs provide opportunities for the students to experience the fitness feeling
and to help them understand and make decisions regarding personal
fitness and the value of physical activity in their daily lives.

ELEMENTS OF RISK IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The risk of injury exists in every athletic activity. However due to the nature of some activities, the risk of injury may increase.
Injuries may range from bumps and bruises to minor sprains/strains to serious injury. The safety and well being of the students is
of utmost concern and all attempts are made to effectively manage as best possible the foreseeable risks inherent in all the
physical activities.

It is important that your child participate in a safe and comfortable manner in the physical education program. In your child’s best
interest we recommend the following :
a) an annual medical examination
b) appropriate attire and footwear for safe participation, as prescribed by the teacher.
All jewelry must be removed.
c) the use of an eyeglass strap and/or shatterproof lenses if your child wears glasses
which cannot be removed during the physical education classes.
d) the wearing of sun protection (sunscreen/hat) for all outdoor activities.
e) it is also suggested that your son/daughter have some sort of accident insurance
coverage, this may include extended health coverage through your place of
employment or the student accident package that was offered at the start of the
school year. Please be aware of all restrictions or limits of the coverage.
