Physical Education

The Tennessee Physical Education Standards have been updated for the 2024-25 school year. You can find the new TN P.E. standards here. The P.E. model portfolio guidebooks are being updated to align with the new standards.

General Information

According to state statute and policy, each district and charter must implement one model of individual growth for non-tested teachers. Scores generated by peer reviewed student growth portfolios represent 35% of participating teachers’ LOE within the state’s TEAM evaluation model in lieu of individual TVAAS scores that teachers in tested courses generate.

The physical education student growth portfolio model was designed through a collaborative partnership of teachers, district leaders, retired teachers, and university employees in 2013 and implemented in 2014.

NTGS PE Working Group 11/30/15

The Physical Education working group, comprised of educators representing diverse school settings found across the state, collaborate to develop the scoring guide for the middle school model.

As educators explore and implement the contents of the following materials, it is recommended that they do so within a professional learning community (PLC) or other collaborative group that focuses on long-term and short-term planning, ongoing formative assessment, standards-based instruction, differentiated and targeted instructional practices, and student work. The art of analyzing student work when grounded in collaborative thinking, self-reflection, and differentiated instruction can have a profound impact on student academic growth.
