The purpose of physical education is to teach the whole student, not just their body and movement. Physical education provides the opportunity to teach students about movement, strategies, teamwork, problem solving and health related fitness. Exposing students to various physical activities, sports skills, and methods of fitness can better provide enjoyment of physical activity, as well as build social, psychomotor, and cognitive skills. I strive to safely provide the means for students to enjoy physical activity, become more confident with their abilities, increase their knowledge of health related fitness, and help them find ways to continue to be physically active.

My major focus will be to make physical education class as enjoyable as possible. This goal starts by providing a safe and comfortable environment. This occurs when every student feels physically and emotionally safe. Enthusiasm and respect for the students, the equipment, and the gymnasium is also integral to fostering an enjoyable environment. To further develop respect and provide a fun environment, I will be open with all students and encourage them to challenge them in ways where there is the opportunity to learn from each other. Every student is unique, and will be given the opportunity to test their strengths and weaknesses, while continually finding success in my class. I will do everything within my ability to provide students with attainable goals, as well as challenge them in ways that will help students observe their improvement.

Physical activity is essential for a long, healthy life. I want to make sure my students are leaving my class with a positive image of physical activity and a desire to continue being active and healthy for the rest of their lives. No matter what path a person chooses to follow in life, everyone needs the functional knowledge and skill to be healthy.

My physical education program has several goals: participation, sportmanship, motor development, social adjustment skills, fitness, and developing lifetime sports skills. Students are strongly encouraged to participate actively in planned activities. A variety of individual, small and team activity instruction will be used to promote lifelong fitness, health, and wellness. I believe in progressive fitness and will provide the opportunity for each student to experience success at their own individual level. My hope is that each student has an enjoyable and positive experience physical education.

Physical education is very important part of a student's life, now and in the future. Participation in physical education will not only lead to improved knowledge and skill, but will improve the quality of life both physically and mentally. Teamwork and sportsmanship are the foundations of sports and life. Students will learn to use cooperation skills throughout all physical education lessons. These lessons that are learned in physical education will improve their future skills with friends, family, sports, leisure activities, and in the workplac
