This document is designed to help North Carolina educators teach the Common Core and Essential
Standards (Standard Course of Study). NCDPI staff are continually updating and improving these tools to
better serve teachers.
Overview
The North Carolina State Board of Education maintains the mission to ensure that every student graduates
with the academic knowledge, skills, and understanding necessary for 21st century workplace readiness and
post-secondary education. In an effort to support this mission, the North Carolina Department of Public
Instruction (NCDPI) has revised all content standards into the NC Essential Standards. In order to drive this
revision, the key guiding question has been, “What is important for students to learn in the limited school
and classroom time available?”
Thus, the overarching goal of this document is to outline the new Physical Education Essential Standards
and cross walk them with the previous Healthful Living Physical Education Standards. Furthermore,
professional development on the new Essential Standards will be provided to ensure every teacher in NC
has a deep, specific understanding of the standards and can implement them to improve student outcomes.
While there is not an opportunity to accomplish all facets of this goal, teachers should be afforded the
opportunity to explore the standards more deeply as they proceed to develop curriculum instructional
materials.
There are two significant transformations built-into the new Physical Education Essential Standards. First,
the improvement of local physical education curriculum and second, changing classroom practice. By
incorporating both of these into your district program student learning will be enhanced and higher quality
teacher practices will be realized.
Improving Curriculum
This document is grounded in the principles from the National Association of Sport and Physical Education
(NASPE) Moving into the Future: National Standards for Physical Education (2nd Edition) to develop
sound research-based instructional resources. Each school district should review current curriculum with
the CDC document Physical Education Curriculum Assessment Tool (PECAT). Then, after declaring the
strengths and weaknesses in local curriculum, use the newly created “Unpacking the NC Physical
Education Standards” document to create and strengthen existing curriculum. These documents will guide
the unpacking of the new Physical Education Essential Standards and create local curriculum that will
improve student learning.
Changing Classroom Practice
Districts providing professional development for physical education should explore the use of Revised
Bloom’s Taxonomy (RBT), as this was the guideline in the development of the NC Physical Education
Essential Standards. RBT aligns curriculum, instruction and assessment to place greater emphasis on
“Assessment for Learning”. Furthermore, every physical education teacher should have access to the
NASPE PE Metrics.
PE Metrics is the standards-based, cognitive and motor skill assessment package from NASPE that uses
valid and reliable evaluation tools to measure student progress toward achieving all six National Standards
for Physical Education. The PE Metrics package includes books, professional development and a Webbased application; everything you need for comprehensive, high-quality physical education assessment.
Within the Metics, you will not see a specific fitness assessment, however, NC now mandates a fitness test
which will align nicely.

Physical Education
What are “Essential Standards”?
The New NC Essential Standards are written using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT) under the
guidance of one of the authors of the revision, Lorin Anderson. North Carolina has chosen RBT to promote
higher order thinking skills expected from 21st Century graduates. The RBT was chosen because of the
well-defined verbs and is built on modern cognitive research. Below is a very short primer on the RBT.
The Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy categorizes both the cognitive process and the knowledge dimension of
the standard. While physical education also includes a performance dimension, it can still be classified
under what students should be able to know and be able to do through a quality physical education course
and within the knowledge dimension. If a student understands the cognitive process regarding the PE
objective, the student will produce or perform within the knowledge dimension; resulting in change in
behavior outcomes.
Cognitive Process:
The cognitive process refers to the verb used in the standard. The RBT has specific definitions for all the
verbs used in the taxonomy. For example:
Explaining requires constructing a cause-and-effect model of a system (e.g. explain the recent
downturn in the global economy)
Inferring requires drawing a logical conclusion from presented information (e.g. In learning a
foreign language, infer grammatical principles from examples)
A common understanding of those verbs will be at the backbone of professional development around the
new standards.
Knowledge Dimension:
The knowledge dimension is a way to categorize the type of knowledge to be learned. For instance, in the
standard “Apply competent motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of
physical activities", the student will understand the concepts needed to perform a motor skill or pattern at
their age level and the knowledge to be learned is "the application of the skill as it relates to specific
movement patterns or physical activities."
Knowledge in the RBT falls into four categories:
Factual Knowledge
Conceptual Knowledge
Procedural Knowledge
Meta-Cognitive Knowledge
Standards can be documented on the cognitive process (remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate,
and create) and knowledge dimension (facts, concepts, procedures, Meta-Cognitive) as students progress
through school utilizing the NC Physical Education Essential Standards. Additionally, taxonomy for the
psychomotor are also important. These are organized according to some degree of coordination including
involuntary responses as well as learned capabilities (simple reflexes to complex neuromuscular
coordination) and will be included in the Unpacking the PE Standards Document.
About This Document:
This document will provide a crosswalk to show how the previous standards and objectives were rewritten,
integrated, expanded, moved, or deleted in the creation of the New Physical Education Essential Standards.
