摘要:
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) were established in 2010 in an effort for states to implement the same set of educational standards for English language arts (ELA) and mathematics (Common Core State Standards Initiative [CCSSI], 2010a). The rationale behind the CCSS is to ensure that students are prepared for success in postsecondary education and the workforce (CCSSI, 2010a). Teachers in technical subjects are responsible for incorporating literacy into their subject matter and physical education is considered a technical subject in the CCSS (CCSSI, 2010b). Therefore, physical education teachers need practical ways to incorporate CCSS into their instruction. The purpose of this article is to present strategies and developmentally appropriate examples of how to incorporate ELA CCSS into physical education. Although there are also many opportunities to integrate mathematics into physical education, this article focuses solely on ELA.
