Project Adventure: period 8
Health & Physical Education Mission Statement: The purpose of physical education is to empower all students to sustain life-long fitness skills and concepts that will enhance their wellness. Physical education is a significant part of the learning process that promotes social, emotional, and physical well being and is the foundation for a healthy, productive and fulfilling life.
It is our goal as physical educators to develop and enhance gross motor skills, physical fitness skills, social and life skills, as well as the learners’ ability to think and problem solve. We will provide an active, caring, and supportive atmosphere so students can successfully obtain these skills. We recognize the need for the development of positive attitudes, good sportsmanship and fair play. Students must be given the opportunity for self development, to learn to follow directions, to cooperate with others, as well as to develop leadership ability.
We must teach our students through a variety of learning experiences at appropriate development levels so they can realistically succeed in managing challenges of learning, growing, and developing in today’s world.
