Program Goals & Learning Targets

Clear goals and learning targets focus planning and teaching.
​If you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you've arrived?

Each goal is aligned with a list of possible learning targets organized in progressions. Unlike many learning target documents you will notice that the progressions do not correspond with any particular grade or age level. Choices made should consider previous learning and experience with attention to differentiating to meet individual needs. Meet students where they are and help them build from there. The third and fourth goals designed to be threaded through every lesson. Click on the goal to access a .pdf for the corresponding progressions.
  1. Provide students with learning experiences that will help them build confidence and competence as skillful movers in a wide variety of physical activities.
  2. Help students discover the role physical activity choices play in physical, social, emotional, and intellectual health.
  3. Help students build and apply an understanding of neuroscience, able to analyze where they are, and develop the learning habits necessary to use feedback, make changes, and improve performance.  (From Fire to Inspire Thread)
  4. Help students recognize and develop the habits of mind & character strengths necessary to become calm, positive, resilient, assertive, independent, and collaborative lifelong movers and learners. (From Fire to Inspire Thread)​

From Fire to Inspire

The third and fourth goals listed above are not specific to physical education. They are part of From Fire to Inspire, a movement-based program combining brain-based teaching principles, social and emotional skill practice, and circus arts that help learners of all ages understand neuroscience of learning and the power they have in the process. When From Fire to Inspire is integrated into the classroom the byproduct is a multi-purpose, classroom friendly, brain boosting, time efficient physical activity.
