287 High School Physical Education: Overcoming Exemptions and Increasing Requirements

Thursday, March 19, 2015: 11:15 AM-12:30 PM
Convention Center: 2B
Physical Education: Curriculum & Administration
Intended Audience: Middle/High, Post Secondary Student
Speaker: Chuck Corbin, Arizona State University, Phoenix, AZ
The Shape of the Nation report (2012) indicates that high school programs have decreased from 2010 to 2012. More than half of states allow students to substitute other activities for physical education credit. More than half allow schools to grant exemptions/waivers. The session will cover the current status of requirements and exemptions/waivers; common reasons for program losses; suggestions for increasing high school programs; and proposals for overcoming exemptions/waivers.
