PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN LIEU OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION (695)
120 logged hours of activity and evaluation 1⁄4 Credit Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 Req: Specific Application format and approval by the Principal
This is a program established under Ohio Law for Credit Flexibility which permits students to participate in intense physical activity, such as competitive dance or non-OHSAA gymnastics, or figure skating and earn high school credit for their involvement. Before considering this option, students should definitely consult with their assigned counselor. The application process includes submitting detailed worksheets, required by the Ohio Department of Education, specifying compliance with the five established Ohio Standards for Physical Education and for each established Benchmark within each Standard. These worksheets must indicate the activity, how it will be trained, and how it will be assessed for compliance with the Standards. A normal Physical Education credit encompasses a minimum of 120 hours of instruction, activity, and assessment; this proposal must do the same (approximately an hour daily over 24 weeks). The proposal should be worked out with the student’s principal instructor/coach, whose name and contact information should also appear on the application in case there are questions.
Upon completion of the proposal, the paperwork will be presented by the student’s counselor to the Principal for review and approval. (A member of the Physical Education faculty will be appointed for this review and will be the “teacher of record” to ultimately review the completed 120 hours documentation and to assign credit, if the plan is approved.) There is no exact timeframe in which this process should be completed, but a tentative timeframe – e.g. a full season of competition – should be provided with the proposal.
This process may be repeated, upon approval by the Principal, for a second unit of credit. This course is Pass/Fail and will not be counted towards the student’s GPA.
