K-12 Health and Physical Education
Have you read the new academic standards for health education and physical eduation? The Indiana Department of Education updated the standards last year. Now they are asking all schools to fully implement the new standards for the 2018-2019 school year.
More information about the new state standards can be found on the INSHAPE web site. Tip: Include health literacy and physical literacy in your statements about student learning outcomes.
More information and resources about the new standards will be presented at the INSHAPE State Conference (November 4 - 6, Grand Park - brochure).
