Maryland physical education Demonstration School program
Program overview
Purpose
The Maryland Physical Education Demonstration School Program recognizes exemplary physical education programs and teachers across the state and encourages visits to these sites by other physical educators. By doing this, innovative programs and good practices are shared and promoted statewide.
Eligibility
Any Maryland grade school may apply for recognition under the program. This is done by completing and submitting the application, which is a part of this packet.
Organization
All applications will be reviewed to determine which schools should receive site visits. Schools receiving a site visit will have a three-person team visit the school for an entire school day to evaluate the school's program and determine its worthiness of Demonstration School status.
Demonstration School Term
A school is designated a Demonstration School for a period of three years after which the school may apply for a second term. Schools seeking a third term are eligible for Honor Roll status, which will not require a site visit provided that all facets of the program have remained consistent with the conditions that satisfied the criteria for selection during the previous term. Example: A site visit may be required for a school seeking Honor Roll status if there has been a change in the instructional teaching staff.
