All teachers benefit from meaningful, ongoing assessment and evaluation. The NASPE-developed Physical Education Teacher Evaluation Tool identifies the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to provide sound instruction in the K-12 physical education classroom. Its purpose is to assist principals and school district curriculum specialists who evaluate physical education teachers as well as to guide physical education teachers in reflection and self-assessment, and serve as an instruction tool in college/university physical education teacher education programs. This resource document is aligned with NASPE's National Standards for Physical Education, Appropriate Practices for Physical Education, Opportunity to Learn Standards and the recently published position paper, "What Constitutes a Highly Qualified Physical Education Teacher?"

Mississippi Healthy Students Act of 2007 During the 2007 session, momentous progress was made when the Mississippi legislature and Governor Barbour demonstrated their overwhelming commitment to the future of Mississippi children with the passage of SB 2369 that created the Mississippi Healthy Students Act. This bill requires activity-based instruction, health education instruction and increases graduation requirements to include ½ Carnegie unit in physical education. It addresses a number of additional requirements designed to improve the nutrition and health habits of children as well as increase the safe and healthy environments of Mississippi schools through school wellness plans. Review the specific requirements of SB 2369 at http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2007/pdf/history/SB/SB2369.htm.
