Which statement about SHAPE is accurate?

• A. SHAPE is a local sports club.
• B. SHAPE developed the National Standards for Physical Education.
• C. SHAPE focuses only on professional athletes.
• D. SHAPE is unrelated to standards.

Answer: (B)

SHAPE America is a national professional organization for health and physical education, and it has guided national guidance for what students should learn in physical education. The statement is accurate because SHAPE America developed the National Standards for Physical Education, which set clear expectations for knowledge, skills, and dispositions that students should acquire through PE programs and inform curriculum, instruction, and assessment across schools. This role isn’t about a local club, nor is SHAPE America focused only on professional athletes; its mission centers on quality physical education for all students and educators. It’s also not unrelated to standards, since developing and promoting these standards is a central part of its work.
