Frequently Asked Questions
How do I write PE progress report comments for students with physical disabilities or health conditions?
Focus on what the student CAN do and their progress toward individualized goals. 'Demonstrates strong fitness knowledge and sportsmanship. Participating in modified activities that support goal achievement within their current physical capacity' is respectful and informative.
Is it appropriate to comment on a student's fitness level in a progress report?
Comment on fitness knowledge and effort, not body type or fitness as a physical measurement. 'Demonstrates understanding of how cardiovascular exercise benefits health and consistently applies effort during fitness activities' is appropriate. Commenting on weight, speed relative to peers, or physical appearance is not.
