NEW PE & Health Standards!

Did you know that the Oregon Department of Education and a committed group of individuals have been working on new health and physical education standards? Two standards review committees were announced earlier this year, and these groups have been working very hard to create a set of standards for each health and physical education teacher to use. We had three members from the Oregon SHAPE board of directors on these committees. The new standards will be recommended for adoption to the state board at the end of June.
