The purpose of the self-appraisal checklist is to assist school personnel in their endeavors to improve the elementary school program of physical education. The checklist is organized into eight major categories that represent essential aspects of an elementary school program: philosophy, organization and administration, class management, the staff, the curriculum, facilities and equipment, cocurricular activities, and evaluation. 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)
