Physical Education Class Concerns

Mrs. Jones is the new physical education specialist at Fairhaven School.  She is qualified teacher with a lot of experience teaching phys. ed. in the elementary school setting.  As of right now, she feels that the grade 8 class is not behaving like grade 8s should be.  She has concerns about student attitude, behavior and effort during class.  She has asked me to post this rubric that she uses to assess students.  Please sit down with your child and see where they feel they fit into the three categories.
