The Planning and Preparation Resource Center is designed to provide OPEN members with outcomes-based resources focused on quality curriculum implementation. Like all OPENPhysEd.org resources, these files are meant to be guiding models and should be customized to best meet the needs of your students and teaching environment.

PECAT STANDARDS ANALYSIS
The Physical Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (PECAT) is a self-assessment and planning guide developed by the CDC.
Schools and school districts working to adopt OPEN as their physical education curriculum can review our PECAT Standards Analysis Scorecards, view our content development outlook, and create systemic rationales for adoption.
Thank you to our partners from the SUNY Cortland AMP Lab for their work in completing and maintaining these documents.
