Academic Content Standards and Evaluation Instrument

Recently the Ohio Physical Education Standards were updated and adopted by the Ohio Board of Education on July 14, 2015. These updates take effect beginning in the 2016-17 school year. Additionally, the physical education evaluations have been updated to reflect the standards update and feedback from throughout Ohio. The updates and more valuable information can be found here.*

The State Board of Education adopted the following Society of Health And Physical Educators (SHAPE America) standards and updated the Ohio benchmarks and indicators in July of 2015. These updates have replaced the previously adopted national standards adopted in 2007 and Ohio benchmarks and indicators in June of 2009.

Standard 1

  • A physically literate individual demonstrates competency in a variety of motor skills and movement patterns.

Standard 2
