The Physical Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (PECAT) will help school districts conduct a clear, complete, and consistent analysis of written physical education curricula, based upon national physical education standards. The PECAT is customizable to include local standards. The results from the analysis can help school districts enhance existing curricula, develop their own curricula, or select a published curriculum, for the delivery of quality physical education in schools. The PECAT is divided into the following sections: (1) Curriculum Description, which requests basic information about the curriculum; (2) Preliminary Curriculum Analyses (Accuracy, Acceptability, Feasibility, and Affordability Analyses), which feature questions to consider about the curriculum before analyzing content and student assessment components; and (3) Content and Student Assessment Analyses, which feature scoring systems for rating the curriculum on how well it addresses each of the six national standards for physical education. The PECAT also includes the following: (1) The Overall PECAT Scorecard, which allows users to visually identify gaps, strengths, and weaknesses of the written curriculum; (2) Multiple Curricula Comparison Scorecards, which allow users to compare scores of multiple curricula; (3) A Curriculum Improvement Plan section which will help users plan for how to improve upon gaps and weaknesses identified in the curriculum and maintain strengths; and (4) Appendices, with an example of a completed scoring sheet, description of the six national standards for physical education, a glossary that defines many terms used in this document, and resources that can help one develop and implement a high-quality physical education program. The PECAT was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in partnership with physical education experts representing state education agencies, school districts, schools, colleges/universities, and national organizations in the United States.
