Quality
Physical Education is neither athletics nor
recess.
Physical Education
is an integral part of the quality education
which includes sequential lessons and assessment.
Physical Education lessons are designed for
every child and the intent is to provide children
of all abilities and interests with a foundation
of movement experiences that will lead to an
active and healthy lifestyle.
The CATCH
PROGRAM:
We are very excited
about creating a positive physical education
feeling for each of our students. The
educators in CCISD teach according to the guidelines
established in the TEKS and teachers collectively
promote physical fitness and health concepts
that apply to the life-long process of becoming
fit and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
In Intermediate &
High School
Quality Physical Education
programs here in CCISD teach students motor
skills necessary to participate in a wide variety
of physical activities. We strive to
convince students that physical activity will
reach far beyond the class setting. Students
will be taught to work cooperatively to achieve
a common goal, meet challenges, and make good
decisions to solve problems. These are all areas
of life that physical education has an impact
upon each day.
In
All Grade Levels
Research has shown that Heart
Disease, Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, and
Obesity are increasing in America's youth at
an alarming rate and more children than ever
before are leading a sedentary lifestyle. We
hope to turn that around with regular physical
activity and healthy lifestyle choices. Clearly
this will lead to a healthy and vital individual
who performs better physically and cognitively. |
