National Board for Professional Teaching Standards announces public review period for Physical Education Standards

The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) announces its public review period for Physical Education Standards for teachers of students ages 3-18+. Practicing teachers fill a majority of seats on standards committees with other members representing districts, states, and higher education.

NBPTS Standards reflect the Five Core Propositions that are the foundation of National Board Certification; identify specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes that support accomplished practice, while emphasizing the holistic nature of teaching; illustrate how a teacher's professional judgment is reflected in action; and describe how the standards come to life in different settings.

Physical Education Standards will be available for public review August 2- September 7, 2011. The standards can be accessed online at:
