Long Beach Public Schools

Director of Health & Physical Education

The Long Beach Public Schools Health and Physical Education Program is grounded in a comprehensive, standards-based approach to teaching and learning. From Kindergarten through Grade 12, the curriculum is designed to provide a coherent progression of learning experiences that develop physical literacy, movement competence, health-related fitness, personal and social responsibility, and the knowledge and confidence necessary for lifelong participation in physical activity.

The district's curriculum is guided by both the New York State Health, Physical Education Learning Standards and the SHAPE America National Physical Education Standards. These standards provide the foundation for curriculum development, instructional planning, assessment, and program evaluation throughout the district.
