About Coach Langdon
Hi Everyone! My name is Sara Langdon and this is my second year as a Physical Education Specialist at Carmel Del Mar. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Health Science from California State University, San Marcos, and I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Curriculum & Instruction. I also played NCAA Division II Softball for four years at CSUSM, Go Cougars!
Before receiving my Single Subject Teaching Credential at CSUSM, I was an Adaptive Fitness Instructor for three years at a Non-Profit Organization that serves individuals with Special Needs. At the Non-Profit, I received the Susan Parham Award (Outstanding Therapy-Based Work) in 2019 and received the Distinguished Service Award (Outstanding Service, Second Highest Honor) in 2020. During the 2022-2023 school year, I was named CAHPERD San Diego County New Professional of the Year.
I am beyond excited to continue being a part of the amazing school culture at CDM, and I am looking forward to a very fun school year. Go Dragons!
Educational Philosophy & What to Expect in STEAM+ Physical Education
Educational Philosophy
My goal in Physical Education is to create lifetime movers through fun, engaging, and inclusive physical activities and games. Physical Education is important because it gives us the skills and tools to live a healthy lifestyle. I believe in teaching a high-quality Physical Education program that truly focuses on the whole student: socially, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Through teamwork, hustle, and encouragement we can strive to be the best version of ourselves each day!
What to Expect this Year in Physical Education
A positive, encouraging, and inclusive environment where all students feel safe to push themselves to try their best and to try new things.
Lots of FUN!
