In this photo, it briefly explains what is required in a quality physical education program. It emphasizes that the students are at the centre of the program and that this program only works if it benefits the students. The activities need to be appropriate for their stage, and every individual must be included. Curriculum is not the only thing that is important in planning, but also ensuring that the students are learning the required skills to be active and healthy for life.

What's in the HPE Curriculum?
Physical Literacy Checklist: Planning
Teacher's need to be prepared for student learning in physical education. By asking yourself, as a teacher, the following questions you will be able to create well planned lessons:
- "Am I using a variety of appropriate teaching methods?
- Am I implementing suitable progressions?
- Am I applying relevant concepts to the lesson content?
- Am I connecting learning to the past, present and future?
- Am I being being developmentally appropriate and minimizing public comparisons?
- Am I articulating clear and appropriate learning objectives?"

> Think of the gym as a larger classroom. You will still be able to use the same lesson format.
> Provide a purpose for every activity you use. Look at the Ontario curriculum for guidance.
> Safety is top priority. Look at the equipment you are going to use.
> Become familiar with the Ontario Physical Safety Guidelines.
> Keep students as active as possible.

> Have rules and provide inclusivity. Provide students with options.
> Adapt your activities to include everyone.
> Integrate the health curriculum with other subjects.
> Have fun!
