Knowledge & Skills

The Knowledge and Skills overviews show the specific physical education content students will learn in each unit of study throughout the year. These documents outline both the substantive knowledge (rules, strategies, and principles of fitness) and the disciplinary skills (movement techniques, tactical applications, and performance analysis) that students will develop. Each unit is broken down to clearly identify what students need to know and what they should be able to do upon completion. Through the systematic development of both knowledge and skills, students build physical literacy, teamwork capabilities, and a lifelong appreciation for physical activity appropriate to their stage of learning.
