Biblical Integration
•
•
The Physical Education program is based on the passage from 1 Timothy 4:7b-8:
o “Train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but
godliness has value in all things, holding promise for both the present life and
the life to come.”
▪ Throughout the class (and ultimately, the entire school career), godliness
is taught and emphasized.
Other passages from scripture integrated throughout our program are:
o Be your best. (Colossians 3:23)
o Be a team player. (John 17:23)
o Be respectful. (1 Peter 2:17)
o Be joyful. (Psalms 100:4)
Assessments
•
•
There will be 5 points available each day.
Your grade will depend on the sum of your point total at the end of each quarter. This
portion will be dependent on three areas:
o Attitude (your words and willingness to participate)
o Effort (work ethic and level of participation)
o Attendance
▪ Absences can be made up by performing 45 minutes of activity and
completing a Home Work-Out sheet.
▪ Non-adherence to the dress code cannot be made-up and will go down as
a zero (0) in the gradebook.
