If you are going to take the CSET Physical Education exam, you will be presented with a video portion that more than likely will have a young student performing an exercise. This video requires a written response to the exercise being performed. The video is shown to you 3 times. You are to take notes on it and then write a constructed response based on a series of questions listed in your test booklet.
One question you might get asked is, “What is appropriateness of this exercise for a physical education program?”. So, this is where you should site secondary education California Content Standards relevant to the exercise. What was that? Yes, I did say content standards, we still are using them as a model for teaching in California. I know, they are super long and difficult to remember, but if PE is the subject you are going to teach, then you must have some, not all, but some knowledge of Physical Education to answer this essay question correctly.

Welcome to the first post of the CSET Blog! Our blog is an offshoot of our parent site CSET Network.com, which is the first and only online community dedicated solely to current and future teachers who are taking the CSET examination(s). Our community and blog are growing rapidly and joining our community is absolutely free. Our philosophy is simple—help others. In doing this, hopefully, it will inspire others to donate their time and help others as once they were. If our community of educational professionals can have a virtual place to meet, discuss and collaborate with one another, then it can highly increase the odds that one will pass the exam(s), because the proper support group is in place to use.
There were many times in the past where we spent time studying for the CSET, but did not have the necessary support group(s) to meet, collaborate and study, because nothing existed online. We hope the CSET Network.com and this blog help bridge the gap for educators so they can meet and study with like individuals and pass their examination(s) the first time.
