The purpose of Driver Education is to acquaint the student with the IPDE program. The "I" stands for the ability to identify a possible hazard; the "P" represents the ability to predict the possible actions and reactions to the given hazards; the "D" teaches the student to decide on the correct evasive action to take for the given situation; the "E" stands for the proper execution of the appropriate driving action. The minimum requirement for the student is to have at least 30 hours of classroom work, six hours of actual driving time behind the wheel, and a minimum of two hours of observation time. A student must satisfactorily pass both the driving and classroom sections in order to receive credit.
Physical Education 9 and Health 9
Grade level 9. Full year course. No prerequisites. Required for graduation. Class meets daily and earns one unit of credit, focusing on fundamental skills, techniques, and knowledge of rules in individual sports, team sports, and lifetime fitness. The following activities may be offered: badminton, basketball, bowling, flag football, golf, pickleball, soccer, softball, strength training, tennis, and volleyball.
The health course is designed to include a wellness view of health that includes the well being of the body (physical health), mind (mental health), and relationships with others (social health). Along with these key issues, we will also explore health risks, which include hereditary, environmental, and behavioral risk factors that have a direct affect on health. Students will learn how to implement daily fitness for overall well-being.
Power, Speed, & Quickness - (PSQ)
Grade levels 10, 11, 12. Full year course. No prerequisites. PSQ will offer students the opportunity to increase their strength, power, speed, and quickness to enhance overall fitness that will allow success in all sports offered by Conway Springs High School. During this course each student will be expected to know all safety features involved in the weight room. Examples include: proper spotting techniques and proper form in all core lifts. The evaluation process is made up of work ethic, using proper safety procedures, and strength progression on core lifts (bench, incline, squat, power cleans) that are tested on an average of every 3 to 4 weeks. Upon completion of this class we hope to have instilled a positive approach in the physical, mental, and social approach to strength training that may allow the student the opportunity to continue as a life long activity after their athletic careers may come to an end.
Grade levels 10, 11, 12. Full year course. Prerequisite: 9th Grade Health & Physical Education. Students will learn in greater detail about nutrition, heart rates, physical fitness, individual sports, team sports, and lifetime sports. Much more strenuous activities are involved while each student's fitness level will be tested several times a semester. Upon completion of the course, each student will understand how to develop and implement a fitness regiment for lifetime physical fitness.
