Introduction

Physical education is an area of study in Saskatchewan's Core Curriculum which is intended to provide all Saskatchewan students with an education that will serve them well regardless of their choices after leaving school. Through its various components and initiatives, Core Curriculum supports the achievement of the Goals of Education for Saskatchewan. For current information regarding Core Curriculum, please refer to the Registrar's Handbook for Saskatchewan Administrators found on the Government of Saskatchewan website. For additional information related to the various components and initiatives of Core Curriculum, please refer to the Government of Saskatchewan website for policy and foundation documents.

This curriculum provides the intended learning outcomes that Physical Education 30 students are expected to achieve in physical education by the end of the course. The curriculum reflects current physical education research and updated technology and is responsive to changing demographics within the province.

All students will work toward the achievement of the provincial outcomes. Some students, however, will require additional supports. Effective instruction, including the use of the Adaptive Dimension, will support most students in achieving success. The Adaptive Dimension refers to the concept of making adjustments to any or all of the following variables: learning environment, instruction, assessment and resources. Adjustments to these variables are intended to make learning meaningful and appropriate and to support achievement. Within the context of the Adaptive Dimension, curricular outcomes are not changed; adaptive variables are adjusted so that the curricular outcomes can be achieved. Please refer to the Saskatchewan Curriculum website for more information on the Adaptive Dimension.
