Philosophy of Education

The purpose of my program is to promote a physically active lifestyle for the entirety of my students’ lifetimes. Students should leave my classroom having a better knowledge of what physical education is and how they can incorporate it into their everyday life. To accomplish this goal, I will follow the national and state standards and objectives and use them as my guideline for teaching. Physical education is just as important as every other subject that is taught in the school systems. Physical education allows students to gain knowledge on how to become and stay physically active for life. With this knowledge, students can live a healthier life, as well as perform at a higher rate in their other courses. To fully accomplish the purpose of physical education, it is important to teach the history of physical education as well as teach physical education. Students must understand why they are doing something before they do it.
