SECTION 1. Section
28.002(d), Education Code, is amended to read as follows:
(d) The physical education
curriculum required under Subsection (a)(2)(C) must be sequential,
developmentally appropriate, and designed, implemented, and evaluated to
enable students to develop the motor, self-management, and other skills,
knowledge, attitudes, and confidence necessary to participate in physical
activity throughout life. Each school district shall establish specific
objectives and goals the district intends to accomplish through the
physical education curriculum. In identifying the essential knowledge and
skills of physical education, the State Board of Education shall ensure
that the curriculum:
(1) emphasizes the knowledge
and skills capable of being used during a lifetime of regular physical
activity;
(2) is consistent with
national physical education standards for:
(A) the information that
students should learn about physical activity; and
(B) the physical activities
that students should be able to perform;
(3) requires that, on a
weekly basis, at least 50 percent of the physical education class be used
for actual student physical activity and that the activity be, to the
extent practicable, at a moderate or vigorous level;
(4) offers students an
opportunity to choose among many types of physical activity in which to
participate;
(5) offers students both
cooperative and competitive games;
(6) meets the needs of
students of all physical ability levels, including students who have a [disability,]
chronic health problem, disability, including a student who is a person
with a mental disability as defined by
Section 535.001, Health and Safety Code, or other special need
that precludes the student from participating in regular physical education
instruction but who might be able to participate in physical education that
is suitably adapted and, if applicable, included in the student's
individualized education program;
(7) takes into account the
effect that gender and cultural differences might have on the degree of
student interest in physical activity or on the types of physical activity
in which a student is interested;
(8) teaches self-management
and movement skills;
(9) teaches cooperation,
fair play, and responsible participation in physical activity;
(10) promotes student
participation in physical activity outside of school; and
(11) allows physical
education classes to be an enjoyable experience for students.
