Understanding the National Standards

The National Standards for HPE, developed by Shape America, serve as a guiding framework for HPE instruction at the secondary level. These standards outline specific learning outcomes for students in three domains:

• Physical Education: Students develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to engage in physical activity throughout their lives.
• Health Education: Students learn about health promotion, disease prevention, and making informed decisions about their health.
• Physical Activity: Students participate in regular, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

Meeting these standards requires a comprehensive approach that integrates instruction, assessment, professional development, and policy. Shape America's Meeting Secondary Level National Standards provides practical guidance and resources to support educators in achieving this goal.
