Miss Chilton's Physical Education

Hi,

I know its always exciting to know a little bit about the person teaching your child, so here goes.

I was born in Birmingham England and have traveled quite a bit. My Dad being military had me living in Germany for my first 3yrs of life and then all over the UK for my formative years. I then lived in Spain for 5yrs before returning to the UK for college.

I went to college in Chichester and did my first two years of teaching at Regeants park School in Southampton.

I moved to Arizona in 1999 and started working at Highland Jr. High August 2000 and I am still here. This place is my second home and family.

I am the current president for Arizona Health and Physical Education. I deliver a standards-based curriculum and follow the State and National Standards for Physical Education. This does, however, look very different from when you and I were in school and from what some students expect. Physical Education is about helping the student to become physical literate in a wide variety of activities in a wide variety of environments. With this in mind, we don't cover a lot of traditional sports but focus on lifetime activities so the individual can develop an understanding of fitness for life.

I have an open door policy so please feel free to contact me any time and on occasions we may say hey come visit with us!
