Driver Education
Objectives of driver's education will focus students on the interaction of people, vehicles, and roadways. Students will learn to reduce risk while driving on different types of highways and will learn the rules of the road. Highway signs, signals, and markings will be taught. Students will learn legal responsibilities such as ownership, registration, tags, and inspections. They will also learn about alcohol and other drugs while using or not using the HTS.
Resources used include group discussions, oral reports, map study, videos, DARE officers, speakers on railroad safety, speakers on organ donors, insurance agency speakers, and speakers on truck safety.
Methods of evaluation include oral presentations, written reports, group projects, individual projects, and daily, chapter, and unit written tests and exams.
10th Grade Health
The 10th health curriculum is required in the Commonwealth of Virginia for graduation. The course is divided into two halves with the first semester consisting of health and wellness and the second semester physical education. The health program is divided into five major categories: alcohol and other drugs, consumer health, disease prevention and control, first aid, and personal health and wellness with an emphasis on nutrition.
Resources include hands-on practical applications through experience, lecturers, media center research, and the textbook.
Student assessment is based on the quality and amount of participation, quiz and test scores, quality of research work, class assignments, and exams.
10th Grade Physical Education
The 10th grade physical education program consists of various activities. There is a daily stretching and exercise program prior to the activities to work on flexibility, strength, and injury prevention. Activities include state physical fitness testing, team sports, individual sports, and lifelong sports. Students are expected to be properly attired and prepared for class. They are also expected to participate in all activities and to practice proper citizenship and safety procedures. It is the desire that students will find various sports and/or activities which they enjoy and can participate in outside of school in order to live a more fit and productive life.
Students will be evaluated and assessed on the basis of attendance, dress, participation, and written tests.
