STANDARD 2: Demonstrates understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities. (Knowledge of performing skills)	The student recognizes and describes critical elements of more complex movement patterns. (e.g. describes the use of the arms, as well as the legs, in performing the running long jump for maximum distance).	Student analyzes and applies basic concepts to improve movement, dance, fitness, game and sports skills being practiced (e.g., throws softball different distances using varied trajectories and amounts of force).	Student employs the concept of efficient and effective practice to improve skills in appropriate settings (e.g. repeating the skill of basketball lay-ups in a gym or playground setting).
