TAHPERD
Texas Physical Education Framework
The purpose of the Texas Physical Education Framework is to help provide support to school districts and TAHPERD members in their curriculum development. The state TEKS were vertically aligned. Local TEKS were developed to help “fill in the progression gaps” that were missing. The specificity of each state and local TEKS were developed to define minimum content standards and to help standardize student expectations throughout the state. The bundles were developed to help facilitate teaching units.
The Texas Physical Education Framework documents were developed by a state wide committee of over 70 dedicated and passionate physical education teachers and coordinators. The committee followed the John Crain process of curriculum development.

| 4. | The TEKS specificity that contains the word “including” means that you must teach that content standard. The TEKS specificity that contains the word “such as” means it is an example(s) of activity/activities. |
| a. Vertical Alignment by Strands: Movement Skills K-12 | |
| b. Vertical Alignment by Strands: Health Related Skills K-12 | |
| c. Vertical Alignment by Strands: Social Skills K-12 |
Grade Level TEKS and Specificity for each course K-12
| 1. | Each grade level/course K-12 has state TEKS, local TEKS, and specificity listed in numerical order. |
| 1st Grade - TEKS Specificity | |
| 2nd Grade - TEKS Specificity | |
