Introduction
What is the purpose of the Tennessee Physical Education Student Growth Measures?
The purpose of the Tennessee Physical Education Student Growth Measures (PE-SGM) is to
measure student learning over the span of a school year in physical education. The assessments
are aligned with national and state standards. The measurement of student growth should
provide feedback to physical education teachers, classroom teachers, administrators, parents,
and policy makers on the status of physical education programs as well as student growth.
The student growth model is a method of measuring the amount of progress a student makes
between two points in time. This method differs from evaluating student achievement level
where students are measured solely against a state standard. Student growth measurements,
while aligned with state standards, take into account where the student started prior to
instruction. Student growth measures in physical education have the potential to inform
instructional improvement, evaluate the effectiveness of physical education programs, and
target needs for professional development for physical educators
What assumptions were made about assessing student growth in physical education?
1. Assessment should not be new to physical education teachers. Assessment should be an
ongoing part of the teaching/learning process. Both formative and summative
assessment should be an integral part of a quality physical education program.
2. Student growth is best assessed by determining the extent to which students improve
through the teaching/learning process. Assessments using rubrics aligned with the state
physical education standards were created. The student achievement levels are
measured before instruction and again after instruction to demonstrate student growth
through the teaching/learning process.
3. PE-SGM measures student learning. Effective teaching as measured through the Teacher
Evaluation Assessment Measure (TEAM) or a similar district assessment is designed to
measure a teachers pedagogical skills as well as to guide him/her in how to improve as
a teacher. The PE-SGM is designed to measure student learning, the product of effective
teaching. The results of the pre-test should guide the teacher in planning/teaching the
content the students need to learn.
4. Sample grades can represent the school population. In the PE-SGM every grade level
does not have to be assessed. Grades two and five were selected as the targets of
assessment based on the developmental nature of these elementary school age groups.
-

5. Assessments can be varied and allow for teacher decision making. The assessments
were created allowing teachers some decision making on what to test. Grade two
students will be assessed using a cognitive/affective written test (teachers select one of
three tests) and two psychomotor assessments: 1) underhand throw/underhand catch
and 2) locomotor skill sequence. Grade five students will be assessed on two
psychomotor assessments: 1) the mature overhand throw pattern and 2) a choice of a
basketball, soccer, paddle tennis, or volleyball skill assessment. The teacher must select
an additional test for grade five; either aerobic capacity physical fitness (mile run) or a
cognitive/affective written assessment (teachers select one of three tests). Options will
be provided at a later date for both dance and educational gymnastics.
6. A sample within a grade can adequately represent psychomotor student growth. The
cognitive/affective assessment will be administered to all second grade students. The
aerobic capacity fitness assessment or the cognitive/affective assessment will be
administered to all students in grades five (the teacher has a choice between the two
assessments). Every class does not have to be assessed in the psychomotor
assessments. The teacher may select one intact class for each motor assessment or the
same class can be used for both psychomotor assessments. It is recommended that the
teacher assess all classes in the psychomotor assessments but only one intact class data
set has to be submitted. One class per psychomotor assessment will signify a sample of
the grade level and will reduce the time spent on assessment.
7. The assessments are designed specifically for grades two and five and in their current
format would be developmentally and instructionally inappropriate for other grades. If
you do not teach both grades, simply submit scores for the only grade you teach and
clarify this information on the cover sheet questionnaire.
8. Teachers assigned to more than one school should only assess the students in grades
two and five from his/her home school.
9. Test taking varies by content. Cognitive/affective assessments will be conducted as a
pre-test in the first two weeks of school and a post-test the last six weeks of school.
Fitness testing should be administered as a pre-test in early October and post-test in
April. These dates allow for time to teach the students the concept of pacing and to
remove concerns about excessive heat on test day. Teachers are free to assess the
psychomotor anytime during the year as long as a pre-test is conducted before
instruction of the evaluated content. Some teachers may elect to pre-test before a unit
and then immediately after providing adequate instruction/practice time. Others may
-
7
choose to pre-test at the beginning of the school year and post-test at the end of the
school year. If the latter is chosen, the teacher should plan to revisit the assessed
content throughout the year.
10. Teachers conduct and score the assessments. Teachers are expected to score their own
students psychomotor performance. This provides a source of immediate feedback on
student learning. Teachers will need to video/digitally record the psychomotor
assessments, view the recordings and complete the proper accompanying score sheets.
Scoring students live may save time, yet the accuracy of scoring is often in question
resulting in invalid scores. The written test will preferably be conducted by the
classroom teacher in the classroom environment. However, the physical educator can
give the test, if necessary. The fitness test will also be conducted and scored by the
teacher.
11. Psychomotor testing is designed to measure motor skill competence. The rubrics are
defined as: (5) Highly Competent; (4) Competent; (3) Somewhat lacking in mature
execution of skill; (2) Incompetent; (1) Did not complete or protocol was
altered/modified. The expectation is that with quality instruction and practice time
students should be able to reach Competent (a score of 4). Level 4 has been designed to
align with state standards expectation for the particular grade level. In all scoring
rubrics, this level is highlighted and designed to be the teaching/learning goal. It is highly
unlikely that many, if any, students will score a Highly Competent (5). These are typically
the students that are engaged in the particular activity out of school or for physical
education programs that teach their students four to five days a week.
12. Cognitive/affective and physical fitness scores should be based on improvement across
time. An aggregate score is determined by grade level to determine the percentage of
students who improve from pre-test to post-test. The rubric uses a 5 point scale based
on the percentage of students who improved over the course of the year: (5) 80% or
more; (4) 60-79%; (3) 40-59%; (2) 20-39%; and (1) 19% or less.
13. Teachers can and will follow testing protocol. While modifications in teaching are critical
to student success; modifications in testing protocol will create invalid data. Teachers
must follow ALL protocols exactly as written or the resulting teacher score for student
growth in that assessment will be a one.

14. Teach before, direct during, and evaluate after. Prior to the pre-test teachers should
only teach and practice the protocol. After the pre-test and before the post-test,
teachers should teach their curriculum assuring they are teaching the tested content.
Prior to the post-test teachers should review and practice the testing protocols. The
teacher should inform students of their pre-test scores as a means to motivate
improvement. On the day of the test, the teacher takes on the role of director of the
assessment. Later, through watching recordings of the test or grading the
cognitive/affective tests, the teacher becomes an evaluator.
15. Some schools have teaching situations that are not idea (e.g., teach students only
once a week, have no indoor facility, or have limited equipment). These teachers may
feel it is unfair to be held accountable to state standards. Even in teaching situations
that are not perfect, it is import to demonstrate that students are experiencing growth
toward state standards. There is a cover questionnaire with space available for you to
provide the peer review committee with pertinent information that will give your
teaching context.
16. Some schools have good TVAS scores, making a teacher wonder if he/she would be
better to use the school wide value added data for the 35% evaluation that relies on
student growth data. School-level data fails to provide information about student
growth in the subject in which you are delivering instruction. In that system, judgments
are made about individual teachers based on students and subjects you may have never
taught. It also devalues Physical Education Teachers both present and future. There will
be significant negative consequences on physical education instruction without the
measurement of student growth in physical education as a part of a comprehensive
teacher evaluation reform effort. Quality physical education teachers seek opportunities
to showcase the effectiveness of their programs through demonstrating student
learning. Student growth measures in physical education have the potential to inform
instructional improvement, evaluate the effectiveness of physical education programs,
and target needs for professional development for physical educators.
17. Some schools have transit populations. Students' high mobility at both the school and
district level can affect the quality of information provided by some growth models.
Only students that were pre- and post-tested can be included in the submitted data. It is
recommended that you evaluate the student but not include the score.

How Does the Assessment Process Work?
1. Beginning of the school year: Teachers create a written yearly plan outlining what they
will teach and when. The plan should also include when they will pre-test, teach, and
post-test the various assessment measures. The yearly plan is a blue print for the
teacher and does not have to be submitted.
2. First two weeks of school: Teachers will administer a cognitive/affective test to all
second and fifth graders (if cognitive/affective is selected for grade five). It is
recommended that the test be administered by the classroom teacher or by the physical
education teacher in the classroom environment. The test may be given in the gym if
the teacher desires. The test is to be taken within the first two weeks of school.
3. During the school year: Teachers will be assessing student performance and collecting
pre/post data on motor (and aerobic capacity fitness if selected) at various times during
the school year using the protocols designated for each assessment. The same
cognitive/affective test will be given in late April or early May as a post-test.
4. Submitting data: All student data and original records of student performance
(questionnaire, video/digital recordings, written tests, score sheets, master score sheet,
etc.) must be submitted to the district level Physical Education Supervisor (or individual
in this role) between May 1st and May 15. The district supervisor will check for
compliance issues and send all data to the chairperson of the peer review committee by
May 30.
5. Reviewing data: A peer review committee of physical education teachers and university
faculty meet during June to check the accuracy of teacher data submitted. The
committee will re-score student performance if teacher data is inaccurate. If data is
non-compliant (protocols were not followed) the highest score a teacher can receive on
that data set is a one.
6. Reporting: District Physical Education Supervisors and the TN State Department of
Education receive a report at the end of June on the results of the student assessment
for each teacher. The report includes teacher level data and scores for each assessment.
It is the responsibility of the district supervisors or State Department of Education to
pass results on to administrators and teachers.
-

What Administrative Support Does the Program Require?
1. Instruction time: It is imperative that administrators provide all students the
opportunity to learn in physical education by scheduling grades K-2 in physical
education class for a minimum of twice a week for 30 minutes each meeting and grades
3-5 in physical education class for a minimum of twice a week for 30-45 minutes each
meeting. Efforts should be made to increase physical education time to three times per
week for a minimum of 90 minutes weekly if physical education student growth
measures are expected to reach grade level expectations. Additionally, classroom
teachers and others should be prohibited from keeping students out of physical
education class.
2. Video/digital equipment: Motor skills are an essential part of the physical education
standards. Performance based assessment can best be assessed with video/digital
recordings and scoring rubrics. Media centers for all schools should have the
video/digital equipment necessary for conducting the motor skill assessments. If not
available, this equipment will need to be purchased.
3. Assistance in assessment: The assessment program was designed to be a part of the
normal process of instruction. The motor skill assessments can be conducted with good
management skills on the part of the teacher. However, an additional teacher,
educational assistant, or parent volunteer would make the process run more efficiently.
Administrators should make every effort to provide a form of assistance on assessment
days.
4. Possible classroom teacher assistance: It is recommended that the cognitive
assessments be conducted in the classroom by the classroom teacher. The written
assessment will take approximately 25 minutes to conduct. If this option is not
supported by an administrator due to classroom teacher workload, then the physical
education teacher should be given access to a classroom to conduct the assessment
unless he/she feels the gymnasium (if available) is the better testing environment.

Policies Governing the Submission, Analysis and Reporting of Data
What data must be submitted? Data must be submitted for grades two and five (unless the
teacher does not teach both grades). The following data has to be submitted:
One Cover Sheet Questionnaire per teacher
Grade 2 cognitive/affective written pre- and post-tests (one copy of actual test and
answer sheets from all second grade students) and score sheets
Grade 2 underhand catch/throw score sheets and video/digital evidence
Grade 2 locomotor skills score sheets and video/digital evidence
Grade 5 cognitive/affective written pre- and post-tests (one copy of actual test and
answer sheets from all fifth grade students) and score sheets; or Grade 5 aerobic
capacity fitness test score sheets (all fifth grade students should be accounted for on
score sheets)
Grade 5 overhand throw score sheets and video/digital evidence
Grade 5 chosen game form (basketball, soccer, paddle tennis, or volleyball) score sheets
and video/digital evidence
Documentation of Student Exceptionality forms (if used)
Master Score Sheets for grade 2 and grade 5
Official class rosters with student identification numbers and classroom teachers names
for all students in grades 2 and 5
Data Submission Checklist
Are all students assessed?
1. The cognitive/affective assessment will be administered to all second grade
students. The aerobic capacity fitness assessment OR the cognitive/affective
assessment will be administered to all students in grades five. Every class does not
have to be assessed in the psychomotor assessments. The teacher may select one
intact class for each motor assessment. The assumption is that one class will
represent a sample of the grade level and if the physical education program is
quality this sample will characterize the entire grade. Additionally, sample testing in
the psychomotor domain will reduce the time spent on assessment.
2. All students on an official class list are required to be tested unless students have an
IEP or 504 plan which specifically excludes them or makes the assessment task
inappropriate for them. All IEPs and 504 plans must be documented by an
appropriate school official on the Student Exceptionality Form included in this
-
12
teacher assessment package. For students who qualify (e.g., the student has an IEP
or 504 plan that specifically describes a limiting condition nonconductive to the
testing protocol) appropriate accommodations for participation can be made and
should be documented accordingly. If a student is absent during 50% or more of
instructional days when assessed content is taught, the same form is appropriate
for documentation. The form requires evidence of authenticity.
3. Students who are absent the day of a pre-test must be tested within 5 school days of initial test administration. Students absent during post-testing must be tested upon returning to school.
4. If a temporary condition exists that prevents a student from being assessed (broken bones etc.) arrangements must be made for the student to take the test at a later point. Documentation must be provided for any student who cannot be tested prior to the end of the school year on the Student Exceptionality Form.
When does data have to be submitted?
All student data and original records of student performance (video/digital recordings, written
tests, score sheets, etc.) must be submitted to the district level physical education supervisor
between May 1st and May 15. The district level supervisor checks all material for compliance
and sends all data to the chairperson of the peer review committee by May 30.
How do you collect and submit data?
The protocols for collecting data are identified in each of the assessments. Data for each
teacher should be submitted in one box/envelope or one zip file. All video/digital data must be
copied on a DVD or on a flash drive (recommend minimum of 4G to capture all data). All data
resources should be clearly labeled. The Cover Sheet Questionnaire and the Data Submission
Checklist should be completed, signed and included with all data. Each class assessed should
have a score sheet, an official class list (with student identification numbers) and Student
Exceptionality Forms for students not assessed. Before submitting data, teachers should make
sure that ALL materials are completed. Incomplete data may result in a score of one.
What format is best for recording and saving data?
Teachers may submit video/digitally recorded data in any common format at normal speed
using the protocols identified for a performance indicator. The preferred format would be
.mp4 due to its quality/compression/file size. Other acceptable formats are .avi, .mov, or
.mpeg. The preferred resolution would be 1080p or 1920x1080 pixels. The minimum resolution
would be 720p or 1280x720 pixels. Students must appear on the summary score sheet in the
-
13
order in which they appear on the video recording. Different activities must be on different
labeled files or DVDs. To decrease the size of files, it is suggested to stop after each small group
rather than keeping the camera running. All recordings must clearly show student pinnie
numbers and all student performances. Teachers may redo recordings as many times as is
necessary to get the technical quality needed to make good judgments about student
performance. All data resources should be clearly labeled. If the technical quality is so poor as
to make it impossible for the monitoring committee to make judgments about student
performance, teachers will receive a score of one on that assessment. Teachers and District
Physical Education Supervisors must check data quality before submitting.
How does the peer review process work?
Data are analyzed by a peer review committee of professionals (qualified public school teachers
and university faculty in physical education) during the month of June. After extensive training,
the peer review committee will look at all of the materials submitted by a teacher (including the
video/digital recordings). The initial peer review check is for teacher compliance. The following
will be considered non-compliant data: 1) assessments are not completed; 2) the teacher did
not follow the protocols; 3) the video/digital recordings do not clearly show the student
performance; or, 4) the required materials were not submitted by the teacher. Any of the
above actions result in a score of ONE for student growth measures on each assessment that is
deemed non-compliant. The peer review committee will review all compliant data submitted by
teachers for scoring accuracy and, if necessary, rescore any assessments to determine the
percentage of students in a class that improved (if pre-test scores were a 2, 3, or 4) or
maintained (if pre-test scores was a 4 or 5).
How does the peer review committee function?
Peer Review Committee Members will be appointed and trained by the Tennessee Physical
Education Student Growth Measures Committee. The Peer Review Committees function is to
review the data submitted by schools to check for protocol compliance, determine teacher
scoring accuracy, and finally to report the data results.
1. The Peer Review Committee will consist of professionals with teaching credentials in elementary physical education and university physical education faculty.
2. The number of professionals appointed to the Peer Review Committee will be determined by the number of teachers submitting data.
3. The Peer Review Committee will meet at central data review locations. The committees
work will be completed by the end of June.
-
14
4. Peer Review Committee members will be divided into subcommittees of three. The
members will check all data for compliance. If data is deemed non-compliant, the score
for that assessment is a one. If the data submitted is compliant, one committee member
will assess the accuracy of an individual teachers student psychomotor scores by
selecting a 25% sample of students. If the scores are 80% in agreement, the teachers
scores will be considered accurate and the class set is accepted. If the sample is
inaccurate, another 25% sample will be selected. If the 50% sample does not reach 80%
agreement, another member of the peer review subcommittee will check the 50%
sample. If in agreement with the first committee member, the student scores will be
assessed by the peer review committee and those scores will be used. If the two peer
reviewers disagree, the third subcommittee member will review the 50% sample scores.
5. All members of the Peer Review Committee will be instructed on data security and
confidentiality and will sign a contract with the understanding that they can be dismissed
for any violation of that policy. No data will be taken from the central data review locations.
Members of the Peer Review Committee may not discuss the assessment results with any
person not part of the Peer Review Committee.
How is data scored?
1. Final scores for an indicator (psychomotor, cognitive, and/or fitness) will be established
by determining the percentage of students who improved (if pre-test score was a 2, 3,
or 4) or maintained (if pre-test was a score of 4 or 5).
2. The student growth measures score for a teacher will be determined by weighting each
of the assessments according to the TN PE-SGM policy.
a. Weighting for grade two will be as follows:
i. 75% : combined locomotor and underhand throw/catch scores from a
sample second grade class
ii. 25% : the entire grade level percentage for the cognitive/affective test
b. Weighting for grade five will be as follows:
i. 75%: combined overhand throw and optional game skill from a sample
fifth grade class
ii. 25%: the entire grade level percentage for either the cognitive/affective
test or the aerobic capacity fitness test
All psychomotor scores will be compressed into one score and then multiplied times three.
Cognitive/affective or fitness scores will be compressed and added to the above number. This
total score will range between one and five, representing the total student growth score (35%)
for an individual teacher.
-
15
How are the Results Reported?
The State Department of Education and the District Physical Education Supervisor/Coordinated
School Health Coordinator will receive a final score for each teacher by June 30. Each District
Supervisor will then pass the scores on to the principals and teachers of each school.
How is the Security of the Data Preserved?
1. All data submitted will be stored in a secure location and handled in a manner that
preserves its security and confidentiality.
2. All members of the Peer Review Committee will receive explicit instructions on
preserving the security and confidentiality of the data and the results of any data
analysis.
3. Data may be used without identifying teacher, school or student names for
research/reporting purposes that are directly related to physical education program
improvement and the improvement of the assessment program. Approval is required by
the TN PE-SGM committee.

TENNESSEE PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENT GROWTH MEASURES
Second Grade PSYCHOMOTOR ASSESSMENTS
Tennessee Physical Education Standard One: Movement Forms/Motor Skills and Movement Patterns: A physically educated person demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities.
Second Grade Assessment Tasks:
1. Demonstrate a mature underhand throw pattern and underhand catch pattern with a
hand-sized object (required)
2. Demonstrate mature patterns of fundamental locomotor skills (gallop, skip, slide, jog
and jump/land).
Second Grade Sample to be Assessed:

grade class.
The locomotor skills assessment is submitted on the same or a different second grade
class.
-

TENNESSEE PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENT GROWTH MEASURES
Second Grade
Underhand Throw and Underhand Catch
Assessment Task:
Catch (underhand pattern) a ball tossed by a skilled thrower and use an underhand throw pattern to send the ball back to the receiver. The assessment measures mature underhand throw pattern, accuracy of throw and underhand catch.
Critical Elements of Performance:
Underhand Throwing Technique
Arm back in preparation
Opposite foot forward
Release toward target
Underhand Throwing Accuracy
Throwing accuracy is defined by a catchable throw (the receiver not having to move more than
one step)
Underhand Catching Technique
Two hand catch with little fingers in
Reach for ball, absorb catch
Tracks ball to hands
Successful Catching
Successful catching is defined by not dropping or missing the ball.
o A clean catch is defined as no bobble.
o A bobble is defined as momentary loss of control, yet maintaining possession.
Criteria for competency (Level 4):
1. Uses good underhand throwing technique to send a ball to a receiver 2. Accurately throws ball underhand to receiver 3. Uses good underhand catching technique to receive a ball at or below the waist level 4. Successfully catches ball thrown underhand from a skilled thrower
-
18
Assessment Protocols:
Directions to Students (Read aloud verbatim) You will be asked to underhand throw and underhand catch a ball with me. I will toss you a ball 4 times. You need to catch each toss with two hands showing me your best form (palms up, fingers slightly apart, pinkies almost touching, reach for the ball and then use soft hands to make sure it stays in your hands). You do not have to stay on the starting mark. Remember to show ready hands when preparing for my throw. After you catch each toss, you are to throw the ball back to me using an underhand throwing pattern. Remember to throw each ball using good form (arm back, step with your opposite foot forward, and release the ball toward target). Directions to Teachers
1. See General Assessment Protocols at the end of this section. 2. Clearly indicate where the student should stand (this should be marked 12 feet from teacher). 3. Either the teacher or a competent thrower should toss the ball gently using an underhand action
so the ball drops toward students waist. If it is a poor toss, repeat the toss. If the toss is repeated turn to the camera and state that you are repeating the toss due to your error.
4. Remind student he/she does not have to stand on the starting mark. Safety and Classroom Management:
1. Set up catching/throwing area so that no other students can enter the area. 2. Use a container of several of the same hand-sized objects (e.g., fleece balls, tennis balls, whiffle
balls) set up behind and to the side of the teacher (or competent thrower) to make the assessment process more efficient.
3. If you use a ball that rolls (i.e., tennis ball), it is suggested to establish a system where an additional student(s) retrieve missed catches without interfering with the performer and out of the camera view.
4. Remaining students in the class should not be permitted to be an audience for the performance of the students being assessed.
5. Teachers need to make arrangements for students not being tested to be engaged in other activities that will not interfere with testing area. One example is to organize students in a rotation of stations which would include an assessment practice station just prior to the actual assessment. If possible, request a teaching aid or parent volunteer to monitor other students while you administer the test.
6. For testing efficiency, other students in the testing station can be throwing and catching with a partner and rotate turns with the teacher (in diagram below, while teacher is testing student #1, students #2 & #7, #3 & #6, and #4 & #5 will practice). Make sure spacing of practicing students insures no interruption. In the diagram below notice the camera is positioned to see student assessed and teacher receiving the students throw.

Equipment/Facilities/Materials: You will need:
1. Numbered pinnies for all students 2. Camcorder, tripod, DVD/memory card, and extension cord at least 25 feet long 3. Tape measure and tape to mark lines on floor for camera location and starting points. It is
recommended that you use tape to show the area for you and the student to stand. 4. Clipboard, pen, and score sheet 5. Suggested hand-sized objects for throwing and catching include fleece balls, whiffle balls, or
tennis balls. Beanbags are not an option. Be sure to use the same object for every child. Camera Location and Operation: Set up camera where both the teacher and the student are in view. The students entire body, including the feet, must be in camera view and close enough to assess throwing and catching form. Position camera so the teacher can be seen receiving the catch. Do a trial run on camera position before starting the assessment.

General Assessment Protocols:
1. Teach before, direct during, and evaluate after. Prior to the pre-test teachers should only teach
and practice the protocol. After the pre-test and before the post-test, teachers should teach
their curriculum assuring they are teaching the tested content. Prior to the post-test teachers
should review and practice the testing protocols. The teacher should inform students of their
pre-test scores as a means to motivate improvement. On the day of the test, the teacher takes
on the role of director of the assessment. Later, through watching recordings of the test or
grading the cognitive/affective tests, the teacher becomes an evaluator.
2. One student at a time should be assessed. The entire class should complete the assessment. Students waiting to be assessed should be participating in other activities, not sitting/watching the individual being assessed.
3. If the teacher tosses an uncatchable toss, repeat the toss and verbally indicate to the camera
that the toss will be repeated.
4. All video/digital recordings must clearly show student numbers. All students on camera should wear pinnies/jerseys with large white numbers that are at least 8 - 10 inches high and 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide on each side. If possible, use dark colored pinnies (i.e., black, navy blue,). You will need enough pinnies and different numbers for each student in the class. Do not put two students with the same number and color on the same recording for an activity. If you record on two different days you must make sure two students do not have the same number and color.
5. Before the assessment, you must start the camera and read the directions to all students. If
assessment must continue on another day, or if all students did not hear the directions, directions must be read again on camera. If you are doing station formation, repeat the directions as each group rotates to the assessment station. You may clarify the directions, but once testing starts they should get no further coaching from you on how to do the activity.
6. Immediately before a small group of students perform, each student should state his/her
FIRST/LAST NAME and NUMBER (include color with number if you have duplicated numbers on different colored pinnies) loudly into the camera. Students should stand approximately five feet from the camera. The teacher should restate the name and number into the camera.
7. If a video/digital recording is not clear, the test should be repeated at another time. Teachers
may repeat video/digital recordings as many times as is necessary to get the technical quality of the recording needed for good judgments to be made about student performance.
8. On occasion, a teacher may allow a student to repeat a performance if that performance does
not represent what the student is capable of doing. Students who repeat their performance should be at the end of the class recording and changed to the end of the summary score sheet.
9. Students should appear on the summary score sheet in the exact order they appear on the
video/digital recording. *Failure to follow any of the above protocol or modifying the assessment task will cause the PE-SGM on this assessment to be evaluated as a ONE.

TENNESSEE PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENT GROWTH MEASURES Second Grade
Perform a Variety of Locomotor Patterns
Assessment Task: Perform the locomotor patterns of gallop, skip, slide sideways, and jog ending in a jump/land. In groups of four to seven, students will be expected to perform all four locomotor skills while traveling in general space. The teacher will call out the first skill of gallop. After approximately 30 seconds, the teacher is to provide a stop signal (e.g., voice, drum, clap.) The protocol is repeated for the skip and the slide. For the last locomotor travel pattern the students are instructed to jog for about 10 seconds and on the teachers signal execute a jump from one foot landing on two feet. Students should be instructed to pause momentarily to demonstrate a controlled landing.
Critical Elements of Performance:
Gallop
Smooth, rhythmical forward action on the balls of the feet
Demonstrates lead leg step-close action without crossover
Hips (torso) facing forward
Momentarily airborne Skip
Body erect with head facing forward
Step taken followed by a short hop with a knee lift
Alternating feet
Momentarily airborne Slide
Smooth, rhythmical sideways action on the balls of the feet
Demonstrates lead leg step-close action without crossover
Hips (torso) facing forward while side faces direction of travel
Momentarily airborne Jump and Land
One foot take-off to two foot landing
Swings arms forward and upward while airborne
Bends hips, knees, and ankles for soft controlled landing (no steps taken)
Holds landing for approximately two seconds *The jog pattern is not assessed. It is simply used as transition into the jump.
Criteria for competency (Level ):
1. Performs gallop using mature pattern 2. Performs skip using mature pattern 3. Performs slide using mature pattern 4. Performs a jog into a jump and lands using mature pattern

23
Assessment Protocols:
Directions to Students (Read aloud verbatim and on camera) You will be asked to perform four locomotor skills with several other students while traveling in general space. The boundaries you will need to stay in are marked with cones (or other noticeable equipment, such as poly spots). Remember when traveling in general space you should be careful not to move close to anyone else and to look for open space. The sequence of locomotor skills includes the following order: gallop, skip, slide sideways, and jog into a jumping where you take off on one foot and land on two feet. Be sure and pause for a couple of seconds to hold your landing after the jump. You will perform each skill for about 30 seconds. I will signal when to stop and will then remind you of what is next. During the jog I will signal when to perform your jump. Directions to Teachers
1. See General Assessment Protocols at the end of this section. 2. Clearly indicate the 24 X 24 area where students will perform locomotor skills. 3. Put students in groups of three or four students; have groups practice sequence once prior to
filming the assessment. 4. Students are asked to start in their own personal space within the 24 X 24 area. The different
locomotor skills will be performed while traveling in general space. Teacher calls out gallop (students gallop for approximately 30 seconds) and teacher signals a stop. Teacher calls out skip (students skip for approximately 30 seconds) and teacher signals a stop. Teacher calls out slide sideways (students slide for approximately 30 seconds) and teacher signals a stop. Teacher calls out jog and reminds students on next signal (approximately 10 seconds into the jog) they will jump from one foot, landing on two.
5. Encourage students to stay within the assessment area and to maintain personal space as they travel so as not to interfere with others.
Safety and Classroom Management:
1. Set up 24 X 24 locomotion area so no other students can enter the area. 2. Be sure that students understand the boundaries of the locomotion area and to avoid moving in
the pathway of the other students in their group. 3. Allow only students with safe footwear to be assessed (e.g., no sandals or boots) 4. If setting up the assessment area outside, use smooth hard surface free from obstructions or
debris. 5. Remaining students in the class should not be permitted to be an audience for the performance
of the students being assessed. 6. Teachers need to make arrangements for students not being tested to be engaged in other
activities that will not interfere with testing area. One example is to organize students in a rotation of stations which would include an assessment practice station just prior to the actual assessment. If possible, request a teaching aid or parent volunteer to monitor other students while you administer the test.

24
Equipment/Facilities/Materials: You will need:
1. Numbered pinnies for all students 2. Camcorder, tripod, DVD/memory card, extension cord at least 25 feet long 3. Tape measure and tape to mark lines on floor for camera location and cones (or other
noticeable equipment, such as poly spots) for the locomotor assessment area (24 X 24) 4. Clipboard, pen and score sheet 5. Any other necessary equipment for performing the task
Camera Location and Operation: Set up camera at an angle in the corner of the assessment area. The camera must be far enough away to capture the entire area and at a height to see the entire body, including the feet of the students. Do a camera position check with children traveling in assessment area before starting. = Cone = Camera

Overhand Throw
Assessment Task:
Catches a self-tossed ball and moves into an overhand throw for distance (or force) demonstrating a mature overhand throwing pattern.
To guarantee an environment to elicit the mature pattern, a throwing distance of at least 50 is required.
Critical Elements of Performance:
Catches ball and moves into overhand throwing position:
Positions body in a staggered stance
Opposite foot of throwing arm forward facing direction of throw
Pulls ball back and transitions smoothly into preparatory phase of overhand throw
Overhand Throw:
Preparatory phase
o begins with inside of dominant foot facing the target with obvious weight shift to the
back foot
o hips begin rotation followed by shoulders, resulting in side to target
o as shoulders rotate, throwing hand goes back aligning elbow with hip and throwing
hand rotates with palm slightly away (as if showing a glimpse of the ball to a person
behind you).
Execution and Follow Through Phase
o Hips uncoil and rotate toward target (belly button points at target), opposite foot steps
forward with extended stride
o The elbow maintains shoulder height and leads the throwing action as the forearm
creates a laid back L position
o After the release, the throwing hand crosses the body
Criteria for competency (Level 4):
1. Meets all 3 of the critical elements of performance to catch and move into an overhand throwing position
2. Meets all 3 of the critical elements of performance to execute the preparatory phase of the overhand throw
3. Meets all 3 of the critical elements of performance to demonstrate the proper execution and follow through phase of the overhand throw

Overhand Throw Assessment Protocols Directions to Students (Read aloud verbatim) You are going to toss a hand-sized ball above your head high enough that you can reach, catch, and go directly into an overhand thrown. While the ball is in the air, you will need to position your body so you are ready to go right into the throw. You are going to try and throw the ball as far (or as hard) as you can. You will need to start your throw from behind this line. It is okay if you step on or over the line when you throw. You may take a step or two if you choose. You will be assessed on your throwing form (technique) including moving into the overhand throwing position from your catch. You will have two trials. If your toss is not good, you may ask to repeat the trial.
Directions to Teacher
1. See General Assessment Protocols at the end of this section. 2. Clearly indicate to students they are throwing as hard or as far as they can (students should not
attempt to throw to a specific target to avoid eliciting poor throwing technique). 3. Students are allowed to take preparatory/approach steps (e.g., crow hop, shuffle steps) to
throw the ball. 4. Students should warm up before this task. 5. If the student makes a bad self-toss, they may toss it again and should be encouraged to do so. 6. Position the camera location to capture the throwing arm side. Placing all left-handed throwers
at one end of the throwing order should expedite the assessment. 7. Assess only the best throw of the two throws.
Safety and Classroom Management: 1. Set up throwing area so that no other students can enter the throwing area. 2. Use a container of the same kind of balls set up behind and to the side of the throwing line or
area. Have another student give a ball to the thrower when he/she is ready. 3. It is suggested to establish a system where additional students retrieve the thrown balls without
interfering with the performer and out of the camera view. 4. Remaining students in the class should not be permitted to be an audience for the performance
of the students being assessed. 5. Students need to be allowed adequate warm up time to prevent arm/shoulder injury. 6. Teachers need to make arrangements for students not being tested to be engaged in other
activities that will not interfere with testing area. One example is to organize students in a rotation of stations which would include an assessment practice station just prior to the actual assessment. If possible, request a teaching aid or parent volunteer to monitor other students while you administer the test.
Depending upon physical education facility and or outdoor space, two different testing conditions have been suggested and are explained on the next page.

Throwing to an open field (outdoors)-recommended
1. Six to eight hand-sized balls (Incrediballs, rag balls, softballs, or baseballs recommended) 2. A marked throwing line 3. Cones marked at 50, 70, 90, 110, and 130 for incentives to throw the ball far 4. One student to feed balls to the thrower and one waiting 5. Three students to retrieve balls (have them hold onto balls until three students complete the
test) 6. Set up a rotation where the feeder becomes the next thrower, retriever 1 becomes the next
feeder, retriever 2 moves to retriever 1 position and the thrower goes to retriever 2 position.

2. One student at a time should be assessed. The entire class should complete the assessment. Students waiting to be assessed should be participating in other activities and not sitting/watching the individual being assessed. Exception only made to the two students waiting to rotate to throwing position.
3. If the student makes a poor self-toss or misses the ball, the toss can be repeated. Only the best throw of the two attempts will be scored.
4. All video/digital recordings must clearly show student numbers. All students on camera should wear pinnies/jerseys with large white numbers that are at least 8 - 10 inches high and 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide on each side. If possible, use dark colored pinnies (i.e., black, navy blue). You will need enough pinnies and different numbers for each student in the class. Do not put two students with the same number and color on the same recording for an activity. If you record on two different days you must make sure two students do not have the same number and color.
5. Before the assessment, you must start the camera and read the directions to all students.

1. Usually maintains adequate spacing in relation to teammate and moves to open space to create a
passing lane.
2. Usually executes a catchable lead pass to teammate
3. Usually receives a catchable pass while maintaining control of ball and body
Critical Elements of Performance:
Moves to open space
Offensive players maintain adequate spacing (avoid crowding or hand-off type passes)
Moves to an open area to create a passing lane that allows passer to make easy passes
Passing technique
Pass is one or two steps ahead of receiver (leads the receiver)
Pass is delivered with adequate force and height to make it a catchable ball
Catching technique
Catches ball with two hands and maintains control
Maintains body balance and control in order to stop or continue directly into dribble (no more than two steps taken before dribbling or passing ball)
-

Basketball Assessment Protocols:
Directions to Students (Read aloud verbatim) You and a partner will be assessed on your ability to play a non-shooting game of basketball against one defender. You will be assessed on your ability to move to create open space and passing lanes; make catchable passes; and receive catchable passes. Your passes should be lead passes so that your partner must be moving to catch the ball. Once you catch the ball, try to keep your balance so you take no more than one or two steps after reception. You may dribble but concentrate on keeping good space between you and your partner. Once you pass the ball, you must move so your partner can pass to you. Do not throw to your partner until she or he moves to get open. Remember the idea of this game is good, quick passes. One partner starts play from a boundary line. Each time play is interrupted by the defense gaining control or a ball knocked or thrown out of the boundaries, play will be resumed. The defender, though not assessed, will moderately attempt to cut off passing angles or intercept passes and should not make contact with the offensive players. The defender must stay in the defensive circle. After the offensive player being assessed has had 4 passing attempts and an opportunity to receive 4 catchable passes, the game will be stopped. If the ball is within one step of you, it is considered catchable.
Directions to Teachers 1. See General Assessment Protocols at the end of this section 2. Students should be grouped by ability. 3. After the offensive player being assessed has had 4 passing attempts and has had an
opportunity to receive 4 catchable passes, the game will be stopped. If the ball is within one step of the receiver, it is considered catchable.
4. It is suggested to have extra equipment readily available to expedite completion of the assessment. If possible, have extra students with ball in hand on each sideline. If the ball gets away, the sideline helper can throw in a new ball and retrieve the loose ball. A group of 6 students of similar skill would work best for the testing station. During each rotation two individuals are on offense, one on defense, and three on the sidelines. Rotate students where all individuals are assessed on offense.
5. A suggested rotation is assessing only one offensive player at a time. This allows the teacher to focus on one offensive player and clearly count 4 passing and catching attempts before stopping play. The rotation would be OFFENSIVE PLAYER 1 (assessed starting with throw in pass), to DEFENSIVE PLAYER (not assessed), to OFFENSE PLAYER 2 (not assessed). Offensive Player 2 then goes to Offensive Player 1 to be assessed. After all three have been assessed, rotate with sideline helpers.
Safety and Class Management: 1. Playing area must be dry and clean with at least 3 feet of clear space beyond the boundary lines. 2. It is strongly recommended that students wear safe shoes for game play. 3. Remaining students in the class should not be permitted to be an audience for the performance
of the students being assessed. 4. Teachers need to make arrangements for students not being tested to be engaged in other
activities that will not interfere with testing area. One example is to organize students in a rotation of stations which would include an assessment practice station just prior to the actual assessment. The stations selected should include tasks students have performed before and can practice independently and safely. If possible, request a teaching aid or parent volunteer to monitor other students while you administer the test.
5. Use the same kind and size of ball for each person assessed.

General Assessment Protocols for Games: 1. Teach before, direct during, and evaluate after. Prior to the pre-test teachers should only teach and
practice the protocol. After the pre-test and before the post-test, teachers should teach their
curriculum assuring they are teaching the tested content. Prior to the post-test teachers should
review and practice the testing protocols. The teacher should inform students of their pre-test
scores as a means to motivate improvement. On the day of the test, the teacher takes on the role of
director of the assessment. Later, through watching recordings of the test or grading the
cognitive/affective tests, the teacher becomes an evaluator.
2. The entire class should be assessed on the same assessment task and game form. Students waiting to be assessed should be participating in other activities and not sitting/watching the individual being assessed. Exceptions include those on the sideline helping the flow of testing.
3. All video/digital recordings must clearly show student numbers. The student on camera should wear pinnie/jersey with large numbers that are at least 8 - 10 inches high and 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide on each side. If possible, use dark colored pinnies (i.e., black, navy blue, kelly green). You will need enough pinnies and different numbers for the number of students in each class. Do not put two students with the same number and color on the same recording for an activity. If you record on two different days you must make sure two students do not have the same number and color.
4. Before the assessment you must start the camera and read the directions to all students. If assessment must continue on another day, or if all students did not hear the directions, directions must be read again on camera. If you are doing station formation, repeat the directions as each group rotates to the assessment station. You may clarify the directions but once testing starts they should receive no further coaching from you on how to do the activity.
5. Immediately before performing, each group of students should state his/her FIRST/LAST NAME and NUMBER (include color with number if you have duplicated numbers on different colored pinnies) loudly into the camera. Students should stand approximately five feet from the camera. The teacher should restate the name and number into the camera after each student.
6. If a video/digital recording does not come out clearly, the test should be repeated at another time. Teachers may repeat video/digital recordings as many times as is necessary to get the technical quality of the recording needed for good judgments to be made about student performance.
7. On occasion a teacher may request that a student repeats a performance if that performance does not represent what the student is capable of doing. Students who repeat their performance should be seen at the end of the class recording and changed to the end of the summary score sheet.
8. Students should appear on the summary score sheet in the exact order they appear on the video/digital recording.
*Failure to follow any of the above protocol or modifying the assessment task will cause the PE-SGM on this assessment to be evaluated as a ONE.

Soccer Assessment Protocols:
Directions to Students (Read aloud verbatim) You and a partner will be assessed on your ability to play a non-scoring game of soccer against one defender. You will be assessed on your ability to move to create a passing lane; make receivable passes; and receive passes with control. Your passes should be lead passes. Do not pass the ball until your partner is on the move. You may dribble within your area as you look for the opportunity to pass to your partner. One partner starts play from a boundary line. Each time play is interrupted by the defense gaining control or a ball kicked out of the boundaries, play will be resumed. The defender, though not assessed, will moderately attempt to cut off passing angles or intercept passes and should not leave the marked defensive lane. After the offensive player being assessed has had 4 passing attempts and has had an opportunity to receive 4 receivable passes, the game will be stopped. If the ball is within one step of you, it is considered receivable.
Directions to Teachers 1. See General Assessment Protocols at the end of this section 2. Students should be grouped by ability. 3. After the offensive player being assessed has had 4 passing attempts and has had an
opportunity to receive 4 receivable passes, the game will be stopped. If the ball is within one step of the receiver, it is considered receivable.
4. It is suggested to have extra equipment readily available to expedite completion of the assessment. If possible, have extra students on each sideline with a ball. If the ball gets away, the sideline helper can kick or roll in a new ball and retrieve the loose ball. A group of 6 students of similar skill would work best for the testing station. During each rotation two individuals are on offense, one on defense, and three on the sidelines. Rotate students where all individuals are assessed on offense.
5. A suggested rotation is assessing only one offensive player at a time. This allows the teacher to focus on one offensive player and clearly count 4 passing and receiving attempts before stopping play. The rotation would be OFFENSIVE PLAYER 1 (assessed starting with first pass), to DEFENSIVE PLAYER (not assessed), to OFFENSE PLAYER 2 (not assessed). Offensive Player 2 then goes to Offensive Player 1 to be assessed. After all three have been assessed, rotate with sideline helpers.
6. Use the same kind and size of ball for each person assessed.
Safety and Class Management: 1. Assessment activity must be performed outdoors. 2. Field should be mowed short, dry, level, and free from holes and/or obstruction with at least 3
feet of clear space beyond the boundary line. 3. It is strongly recommended that students wear safe shoes for game play. 4. Remaining students in the class should not be permitted to be an audience for the performance
of the students being assessed. Exception is the 3 sideline helpers. 5. Teachers need to make arrangements for students not being tested to be engaged in other
activities that will not interfere with testing area. One example is to organize students in a rotation of stations which would include an assessment practice station just prior to the actual assessment. The stations selected should include tasks students have performed before and can practice independently and safely. If possible, request a teaching aid or parent volunteer to monitor other students while you administer the test.

Equipment/Facilities/Materials: You will need:
1. Numbered pinnies for all students 2. Camcorder, tripod, DVD/memory card, and extension cord (at least 25 long). A fully charged
battery with backup battery is recommended when outdoors. 3. Tape measure and items (cones, poly spots, spray paint, lime etc.) to mark lines on ground to
indicate camera location and the playing area. 4. Clipboard, pen, and score sheet 5. 5 Junior size soccer balls, soccer trainers, or 8.5 playground balls
Camera Location and Operation:
Mark off a 24 X 24 outdoor area with cones or poly spots. Mark the area into three 8 lanes with the middle lane being the defensive area. Camera view should encompass entire assessment area. Students being tested should be visible on camera for the entire assessment task. See diagram below. Keep the camera stationary and recording once play has sta
