Maryland Demonstration School Application 2011-2014

Every other school year, teams of professionals visit public schools which have applied to be a MARYLAND Demonstration School. After a staff review of the school's program, and completion of the application, the team visits the candidate school and spends the day observing classes, looking at the curriculum, and evaluating the support of the school for the discipline of physical education. This program, originally started by MSDE and now totally funded by MAHPERD, is co-chaired by two dedicated professionals, Mike Mason and Andy Roper.

The Demonstration School Winners will be honored at the Awards Banquet at the Convention in October and will receive a plaque and banner to display. They welcome visitors to their schools to see quality physical Physical Education in action.

Schools interested in becoming demonstration schools should conduct a self evaluation of their physical education program using the Maryland Physical Education Demonstration Schools assessment instrument available through the Maryland Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance website. The school principal and physical education personnel should discuss their ratings in each program category and determine whether to pursue Demonstration School status. 

Demonstration Schools serve as state models for physical education programs and are also used as presenters at the MAHPERD Convention.  Demonstration school staff are highly encouraged to showcase their programs for their school systems as well as serving as presenters at local professional development trainings. Observation of Demonstration Schools by other physical education personnel, including pre-service majors from Institutions of Higher Education is also encouraged.
