The Physical Education Framework for California Public Schools: Kindergarten
Through Grade Twelve, adopted by the State Board of Education on September
11, 2008, is an essential resource for the development, implementation, and
evaluation of standards-based physical education programs and instruction
to meet the recommendations of the task force. Its adoption reinforces the
importance of physical education as a vital component of our students’ educational experience and its contribution to each student’s health and well-being, social development, and readiness to learn.
