Push-Up Rubric

Push-Up Rubric This standards-aligned formative assessment helps physical education teachers and pre-service educators measure students' skill progression in performing push-ups. Utilizing a quantitative final score and descriptive component rubric scales, this resource facilitates easy, consistent grading across multiple classes. As students work to increase upper body strength and endurance, the rubric outlines specific criteria related to proper form, tempo, range of motion, repetitions completed, and core engagement. Results inform teachers if additional instruction or practice is needed before moving on. The push-up rubric equips P.E. teachers with a concrete measure of skill attainment for this essential bodyweight exercise. Applicable as part of a broader fitness unit or as a standalone assessment.
