This 2009 Physical Education Standard Articulated by Grade Span document replaces the Physical Education Articulated by Grade Span 1997. Schools should use the 2009/2010 school year as a transition year, with full implementation by the 2010-2011 school year.
The Arizona Department of Education will be sponsoring transitional trainings on the new standards starting in spring 2010. More information will be available soon.
