Middle School Philosophy

• Physical education learning experiences compliment and support the academic maturation process of a child.  Positive self-image, the ability to interact appropriately, personal responsibility, team building and sportsmanship are natural components of the performance and skill-based curriculum.  The ability to compare, contrast and analyze as well as to plan, experiment and create are all utilized in the gymnasiums and fields as well as in the academic classrooms.

AMS Physical Education Policy

• Instruction shall include but not be limited to:

– exercises that promote cardiovascular fitness and flexibility.

– activities which will contribute to the student's motor, cognitive, and affective (expressions of emotion) abilities.

– providing a continuum of services designed to meet the needs of students with disabilities as determined through the Individual Education Plan(IEP).

CLASSES• All Anne Arundel County middle school
