The purpose of the self-appraisal checklist is to assist school personnel in their endeavors to improve the secondary school program of physical education. The checklist is organized into seven major categories that represent essential aspects of a secondary school program: philosophy and principles, organization and administration, class management, the staff, the curriculum, facilities and equipment, and evaluation and grading. The objective of the checklist is to assist personnel in surveying and assessing an existing program and, in turn, comparing it to a quality program exemplified by the checklist items. A score comparison chart is provided at the end. (DS)
