Physical education is the only place where children receive formal instruction from a trained professional in the fundamental movement patterns and skills. Physical literacy is the goal of physical education. Our standards contain the content for what students need to know and to be able to do to be physically literate. It’s about developing movement competencies. The more movement competencies a child has the more activities they can do; and the richer their physical literacy journey. Developing physical literacy is a shared responsibility. The Aspen Institute identified 10 sectors positioned to play key roles in developing physical literacy: • Community recreation organizations • Public health agencies and foundations • Education • Media and technology • Fitness organizations • Business and industry • National Sport Organizations • Parents • Health Care and Medical Providers • Policy makers and civic leaders. They say it takes a village to raise a child. We are a part of that Unfortunately our students are not all where we need them village. to be. “Worsening obesity and the associated negative health consequences will have a catastrophic social, economic, military, How do we build that village to support that child?
