Assessment in Physical and Health Education

Assessment in Physical and Health Education e-learning introduces and explores assessment principles and practices, including real-world examples, that will support and enhance student learning in a physical and health education (PHE) context.  The course illustrates how assessment can be used to build collaborative and trusting relationships with students, meet individual student needs, and empower students in ways that have not traditionally occurred in PHE.  Learners will explore different types of assessment, using strengths-based language, developing success criteria, providing feedback, a variety of assessment tools, and more.
