How can we document the days and time spent in physical education if we use an integrated curriculum approach?
Update the District Physical Education Plan (required by Part 135.4) and submit a copy per regulation to the State Education Department’s Office of Curriculum, Instruction and Instructional Technology. Designing the elementary physical education curriculum should be a cooperative venture of the District Director of Physical Education, the elementary physical education teacher(s) and the elementary classroom teachers. This would ensure that the physical education curriculum covered in this fashion counts toward the day and time requirement, and will be documented in both the physical education teacher’s lesson plans and elementary classroom teacher’s lesson plans. See Commissioner’s Regulation 135.4 ( ,48KB) Page 4 item (a).
