Highland Park PE Syllabus

We also included behavioral expectations, PE policies and procedures.
Academic Learning Targets for all Physical Education classes. This is what your student will be learning. Learning Targets have been developed for every subject / class for 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Targets are intended to clearly identify and align the expected learning. These targets are consistent across all 8 of the Beaverton Middle Schools.

- G = Generally = the expected behavior is usually demonstrated by the student. Sometimes they need reminders, but when prompted, the student corrects their behavior.
- R = Rarely = Improvement is needed in the expected behavior. The student does not demonstrate the expected behavior, or needs frequent reminders or re-teaching to demonstrate the behavior.
