Assessment of standards-based learning in physical education is a critical component of a high quality, effective program. Accordingly, Vermont schools are required to develop and implement a PK-12 local assessment system. For guidance with this work, physical educators are invited to join expert Dr. Kim Kostelis to:

a) Outline the impacts of assessing learning in physical education;
b) Practice authentic formative and summative assessment techniques,
c) Explore the relationship between assessment, grading and the reporting process.
