Physical Activity/Physical Education
A comprehensive school physical activity program supports physical education and youth physical activity. It reflects strong coordination across five components: physical education, physical activity during school, physical activity before and after school, staff involvement, and family and community engagement. Physical education is the foundation of a comprehensive program, and is an academic subject for grades PK-12. Curriculum should be based on the Nebraska physical education standards, and classes should be taught by certified or licensed teachers endorsed.
Health Education: teaching children about the factors that can influence their health, and how to make lifelong healthy choices.
Physical Education: building strong and capable adults who understand the importance of continued physical activity throughout life.
