The NASPE National Standards demonstrate that physical education and sport have academic standing equal to other subject areas.

National content standards are the structure around which to develop realistic and achievable expectations for student performance at every grade level.

The NASPE National Standards:

• describe achievement;
• confirm that knowledge and skills matter;
• demonstrate that willing participation is not the same as education.  

States and local school districts across the country use the national standards to develop or revise existing standards, frameworks, and curricula. Learn More >>
