4. Standard Revision
Looking to align our standards closer to the national standards.
Learning Outcomes are going to be anchors to the standards for each grade level. Most of the learning outcomes are designated from the HECAT toolkit for health and the PECAT toolkit for physical education.

5. HECAT- Health Education Curriculum Analyst Tool
HECAT provides guidance, appraisal tools, and resources for carrying out a clear, complete, and consistent examination of an existing curriculum, a commercially packaged or locally developed school-based health education curricula.
The HECAT builds on the characteristics of effective health education curricula and the National Health Education Standards for schools.
HECAT draws upon a synthesis of research and findings of CDC guidelines for school health programs.

6. HECAT- Intended Users
HECAT is designed to be used by those who select, develop or use school health education curricula and for those who are interested in improving school health education curricula.
Those interested can use HECAT in the development of new or improved courses of study, learning objectives, or curricula
OR:
State health education standards or frameworks
Recommended for conducting state or local curricula review

7. HECAT- Organization
Chapter 1- Instructions- Step-by-step guidance for conducting HE curriculum review

10. Health and Physical Education Benchmarks:
Learning outcomes for content and skills are listed for each grade but students are required to demonstrate the skills by each benchmark grade 3, 6, 9, and 12th

11. Examples of learning outcomes and benchmarks for health education The following is a sample of PreK-2 learning outcomes for the topic Personal Health.

12. Core Concepts

13. Physical Education Curriculum Analyst Tool- PECAT
The Physical Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (PECAT) is a self-assessment and planning guide developed by CDC. It is designed to help school districts and schools conduct clear, complete, and consistent analyses of physical education curricula, based upon national physical education standards.
Specifically, the PECAT
Assesses how closely physical education curricula align with national standards for high quality physical education programs
Analyzes content and student assessment components of a curriculum that correspond to national standards for physical education
Helps school districts or individual schools identify changes needed in locally developed curricula

14. Tried to accomplish the following:
User friendly – access information
Easier to understand
Make as concise as possible
Remove outcomes that serve no purpose or no purpose at a particular grade level.
Develop helpful and appropriate resources
Provide a comprehensive glossary

15. Examples of learning outcomes for physical education
