The Global PE Blueprint: An Audit to Build a Culturally Relevant, Standards-Based Curriculum
Pedagogy & Curriculum
China 2026
Is your international school’s PE program a collection of inherited activities or a purpose-built curriculum? This session introduces a practical, four-step audit framework that empowers PE departments to intentionally design or redesign their program from the ground up. We move beyond simply “doing sports” to constructing a coherent curriculum that is rigorously aligned to standards (SHAPE America or Ontario H&PE) and meaningfully adapted to your school’s unique cultural and logistical context.
Participants will learn how to systematically:
- Deconstruct and Align: Critically examine your current scope and sequence to identify its implicit or explicit standards foundation.
- Select with Intent: Choose and sequence activities not by tradition, but by their proven efficacy in meeting specific learning outcomes.
- Apply a cultural filter: Evaluate and adapt activities for cultural relevance, inclusivity, and alignment with local values and facilities.
- Assess for Impact: Design authentic, standards-based performance tasks that provide valid evidence of student learning and program success.
- Leave with an actionable audit toolkit to transform your PE department’s philosophy and practice.
