Personal and Social Responsibility Policy

This model was developed to help students learn to be responsible by giving them increasing amounts of responsibility and by carefully shifting a significant portion of decision-making responsibilities to them. The model promotes self and social responsibility by empowering students to take more responsibility for their actions and lives and by teaching them to be concerned about the rights, feelings, and needs of others. 

Students will  be assessed routinely in physical education.


Level 1       Respect 
Students control their own behavior and show respect for the feelings and rights of others. Students understand that all have the right to participate. Students have the right to resolve conflicts peacefully. Students are taught to recognize and respect differences of opinion and to negotiate conflicts. Increased awareness of empathy and understanding of the impact of one=s behavior on others. 

Level 2        Participation and effort 
The emphasis is on helping students participate in activities that can become an integral part of their lives. Students are encouraged to explore the relationship between effort and outcomes, try new activities, accept challenges, and arrive at a personal definition of success. Is success participating? Improving? Being socially responsible? 

Level 3       Self-direction 
Students assume increased responsibility for their work and actions; they are able to work more independently on tasks. Students learn to identify their own needs and interests, set own goals, establish related tasks for achieving them., and evaluate their progress. Students are encouraged to balance current and future needs. They have greater ability to disregard "peer pressures" and remain committed to being socially responsible.


Level 4       Caring and helping others 
Students are helped to develop interpersonal skills and to reach beyond themselves to others. They are encouraged to give support, show concern, and exhibit compassion without expectation of reward. Teaching styles, such as the reciprocal style, offer opportunities for students to assist each other in learning. Students are supported in their efforts to become contributing members of the community.
