Description:

Health Opportunities through Physical Education (HOPE) combines health and physical education and enables students to experience first-hand the many benefits of regular physical activity, proper nutrition, and healthy decision making! The healthy choices students make today will have an impact for a lifetime.

Students begin the course with an assessment of their current physical fitness levels and define personal goals. Fitness training principles are applied to workouts to enhance and improve health-related and skill-related areas of fitness. Students maintain workout logs to track weekly physical activity and assess their progress toward personalized goals.

Additional course topics challenge students to become educated consumers, manage stress, choose nutritious foods, make healthy lifestyle choices, be effective members of a team, and influence others in the community in a positive way. Projects challenge students to seek solutions for issues facing teens in today’s culture.

Course Assessment and
Participation Requirements:

To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can learn at their own pace; however, “any pace” still means that students must make progress in the course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons, multiple choice questions, projects, discussion-based assessments, and discussions. Students are expected to maintain regular contact with teachers; the minimum requirement is monthly. When teachers, students, and parents work together, students are successful.
