Physical education curriculum analysis tool

"The Physical Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (PECAT) will help school districts conduct a clear, complete, and consistent analysis of written physical education curricula, based upon national physical education standards. The PECAT is customizable to include local standards. The results from the analysis can help school districts enhance existing curricula, develop their own curricula, or select a published curriculum, for the delivery of quality physical education in schools."Introduction -- Instructions -- Part One: Preliminary Curriculum Considerations -- Curriculum Description -- Accuracy Analysis -- Acceptability Analysis -- Feasibility Analysis -- Affordability Analysis -- -- Part Two: Content and Student Assessment Analyses -- Grades K-2 -- Grades 3-5 -- Grades 6-8 -- Grades 9-12 -- Overall PECAT Scorecard -- PECAT Multiple Curricula Comparison Scorecards -- -- Part Three: Curriculum Improvement Plan -- Curriculum Improvement Plan Worksheet -- Appendix 1: Example of a completed scoring sheet -- Appendix 2: National Standards for Physical Education -- Appendix 3: Glossary -- Appendix 4: ResourcesThis document was prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), Research and Application Branch; CDC/DASH authors:Sarah M.
