Preferred term

national and state physical education standards  

Definition

  • Although the issue of standards in education has long been part of the U.S. education system, standards-based education is a relatively new concept, emerging in 1992. Under the guidance of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE), national standards for physical education were developed—standards that several states have emulated.
