LACOE provides guidance for the appropriate implementation of a standards-based physical education curriculum as well as customized support for districts and schools.
Our goals are to support students in developing appropriate attitudes and behaviors that will promote life-long health and to help close the achievement gap by reducing personal, social, and physiological barriers to student success.
Reference Guide for Physical Education in California Schools
A new reference guide for physical education in California schools is now available. A "must have" tool for teachers and school leaders, the document provides clear guidance and leadership for decision-making for physical education in grades K-12. Inside learn more about the outcomes of physical education; California Education Code and regulations related to physical education; common issues, questions and misunderstandings; guidance for course design as well as curriculum and instruction practices; and many more resources. Every California school and student will benefit from this new resource.
This document is a result of collaboration between representatives from the California Physical Education-Health Project, Los Angeles County Office of Education, Orange County Department of Education and San Diego County Office of Education.

CARE-R2
The Curriculum, Assessment, Resources, and Evaluation Revised edition (CARE-R2) is a motor assessment tool that is commonly used for students with moderate-severe disabilities when determining appropriate adapted physical education placement, triennial assessments and IEP goal development.
