Driving is an activity that affects the whole community. A successful program, therefore,requires the effective involvement of parents/guardians, schools, communities, and government agencies. || ||

Schools can better achieve their basic educational mission if students are healthy and fit physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. Habits that young people establish will impact their future health status in a positive or negative manner. Schools share the responsibility with parents and communities to help prevent unnecessary injury, disease, and chronic health conditions that lead to a low quality of life, disability, or early death. In addition, positive attitudes and behaviors developed early in life help to prevent many of the social and educational problems that confront society, including failure to complete high school, drug addiction, broken homes, unemployment, and criminal behavior. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"><span class="wiki_link"> **Teachers:**

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"><span class="wiki_link"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"><span class="wiki_link"> Instruction in physical education strives to develop healthy, responsible students who have the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to work together in groups, think critically, and participate in a variety of activities that lead to a lifelong healthy lifestyle. The Physical Education Core Curriculum utilizes appropriate instructional practices to develop competence and confidence in a variety of movement forms such as sports, dance, and recreational and physical fitness activities. The emphasis is on providing success and enjoyment for all students, and not just for those who are "physically gifted." The Physical Education Core represents a shift from a team sports-dominated program to a lifetime activity format with connections to community resources. Knowledge of the relationship between proper nutrition and the benefits of a consistent fitness regimen is the common thread running through the Physical Education Core. Reading and writing practices such as reports, activity journals, and portfolios are incorporated in the Core to broaden the physical education experience and to contribute to the overall literacy of students. Students develop life skills through cooperative and competitive activity participation and learn to value academic service experiences. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"><span class="wiki_link"> The Physical Education Core describes what students should know and be able to demonstrate at the end of each course. It was developed, critiqued, piloted, and revised by a committee comprised of physical education teachers, district specialists, university educators, State Office of Education specialists, and representatives from the community. The Core reflects the current national philosophy of physical education represented in national standards developed by the //American////Alliance// //for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance// and the //National Association for Sport and Physical Education//, the two governing bodies of health and physical education in the United States. **Teachers:**
