Supporting Physical Education for All Students - 4/30/25
Typical PE Delivery Scenarios: Elementary (Grades K - 5(6))
Scenario 1 (Ideal)
Licensed PE teacher serves all students for 150 min/week for entire school year
Scenario 2
Classroom teachers serve all students for 150 min/week for the entire school year
- Instruction is aligned with
Oregon's PE standards and grade level outcomes
- Delivered as part of a sequential, developmentally appropriate curriculum
- Classroom teachers engage in PE professional development and utilize state-adopted, standard-aligned materials to ensure students meet PE outcomes.
Scenario 3
Maximize time with a Licensed PE Teacher and combine with PE instruction by classroom teachers for a total of 150 min/week for the entire school year
- PE instruction provided by multiple-subject endorsed teachers in this scenario may incorporate classroom based programs (e.g. BEPA 2.0), as long as the activities:
- Recommended: Licensed PE teacher works with classroom teachers to align to PE scope and sequence
Sample Schedules: Middle School (Grades 6-8) *Must be taught by a Licensed Physical Education Teacher
PE All Year Long
45 minute classes x 5 days/week = 225 minutes per week
50 minute classes x 3 days/week = 150 minutes per week
PE for 2 out of 3 Trimesters
50 minutes x 5 days = 250 minutes x 24 weeks = 6,000 divided by 36 weeks in the school year = 167 average minutes per week
PE for 3 out of 4 Quarters
45 minutes x 5 days = 225 x 27 weeks = 6,075 divided by 36 = 169 average minutes per week
*Formula for calculating average number of minutes per week over the entire school year for grades 6-8
Number of PE minutes per week x number of weeks students are required to participate in PE divided by the total number of weeks in the school year = average number of PE minutes all students participate in PE.
