This class is designed to help ALL students become physically literate individuals.

Physically literate individuals are those who have the knowledge and skills to be competent and confident in a wide variety of activities, in multiple environments, that are going to allow individuals to engage in health enhancing physical activity throughout their entire lifetime.

It is also designed to incorporate 21st-century skills for all students. Collaboration and cooperation, appropriate competition, decision making, problem-solving, creativity, analysis, synthesis, critical thinking...

We do this by incorporating inquiry-based teaching and learning methods in all activities.

We address fitness knowledge and acquisition, individual and group goal setting, skill acquisition and transfer, strategic/tactical knowledge, and transfer.

We teach conceptually and look at the bigger picture. We try to incorporate a wide variety of "lifetime", enjoyable activities that benefit students physically, emotionally, and cognitively.

This is a journey not a destination...it is as much about process as it is about product!!!

"We do not learn from experience...we learn from reflecting on experience." - John Dewey
