Health and Physical Education Assessments

OSPI has developed assessments that can be used by teachers in the classroom throughout the school year to gauge student understanding of the learning standards for Health and Physical Education.

2023–24 Instruction & Assessment Reporting Information 

OSPI has streamlined the required assessment reporting for Health & Physical Education with the Annual Physical Education review into one Alchemer survey format. 

Recommendations & Resources

OSPI recommends districts use the OSPI-developed assessments in the Arts, Educational Technology, Health and Physical Education, and Social Studies to meet the requirements of RCW 28A.230.095 and RCW 28A.655.075. If local assessments or other strategies are used to meet the requirements, it is strongly recommended they are reviewed for quality and alignment to state standards, based on research, and able to measure individual student achievement. In addition, school districts are encouraged to develop policies and procedures that support the implementation of assessments in these areas, as well as the collection, use, and retention of assessment data.
