1) Equipment

• Before class as all students are filtering out of the change room the equipment being used that day is open for use provided it is used appropriately, except gymnastic equipment.
• If the equipment is used inappropriately (i.e.:  as a weapon, punted off the wall, ceiling, toward a person or crowd of people, etc.) the equipment will be put away until the teacher wants to use it in the lesson.
• This will produce group responsibility as no one wants 20 other kids mad at them for booting the ball, theoretically they will all behave.
• If this doesn't work NO equipment until the lesson starts.
• Equipment counts will be done by a different person each class, it is their responsibility and they will sign the equipment count sheet at the end of each class.
• Equipment counts are done before the lesson begins (to ensure all is returned from play) and at the end of class.

• Students will be assigned a row in which they sit when the teacher blows the whistle.
• It is the students responsibility to memorize the person who sits in front and behind them
• Students will sit in their rows when the teacher blows the whistle at the beginning of the class
• Attendance will be done and students will report who is not present
• To ensure that students memorize their neighbours a quiz worth 2% will be given at the beginning of the first three lessons (total value 6% or one letter grade).
• Students will ask to:  use the washroom or leave the class for any reason.
• Students are responsible to bring clothing specific for PE a gym strip is required for every class.
• If students do not bring gym strip they will participate any way AND loose 2.5% of their grade per time per unit.
• During an emergency: fire alarm, earth quake, explosion, etc. students will put their equipment on the floor and follow the instructions of the teacher.
• The teacher will follow emergency procedure guidelines as provided by school or school district.
• Illness/Non-participation:  Students must come to class and bring a signed not from their parent or doctor.
• Students are expected to bring homework and be on task for the allotted class time.
• Students will not be deducted marks for legitimate excuses

• Students are expected to work with someone new for each group activity unless otherwise specified.
• Students should try to work with every person in the class by the end of each semester.
• Groups should not be mono-gendered.
• Groups will contain equal number of team players if team players are in the class.
• There will be no groups containing solely accomplished athletes.
• All groups will contain a variety of ability, gender, and ethnicity.

• Only one person talking at a time

• Does the activity provide for differences in the skill levels of your students? (i.e., is it developmentally and/or instructionally appropriate?)
• Can all students be successful, and at the same time, challenged?
• Does the activity provide for maximum participation?
• Can you emphasize the "learnable piece" (i.e., cues, strategy) during the activity?
• Does the activity provide for maximum practice time?
• Can you teach your students what you want them to learn from the lesson using the chosen activity?
• Can you assess student learning?
