Abstrakt: The article focuses on the collaboration between physical education teachers and school librarians. The physical education department head and librarians at the Corning-Painted Post West High School, in Painted Post, New York, discussed how to make a missed physical education class more meaningful in a way that fit the physical education learning standards. Moreover, the department members sought to reduce casual absences and the incidence of less-than-necessary medical excuses by holding students accountable for these standards. Before the school year began, physical education instructional packets were placed in folders organized by topic. Each folder consisted of multiple copies of informational materials on a single sport, along with multiple copies of the questionnaire assignments for that topic. Teachers started sending students to the library when they were unable to participate in class. The students arrived at the library with a pass specifying which packets they were to use. The passes were saved in the library for teachers to monitor attendance. Each student's work for the class period was filed in folders organized by period, and finished work was kept there as well.
