I believe all students deserve an educator who cares, is passionate about what they do, and provides each student a challenging environment that fosters growth. Physical Education gives each individual the opportunity to learn how to perform the motor skills they'll need to participate in a wide variety of physical pursuits. Stressing the importance of physical fitness within recreational activities is part of my educational focus, because recreation is how we stay physically, socially, and emotionally fit throughout our adult lives. It is important that our students learn these skills now so they can enjoy the benefits they offer for a lifetime to come.
Through Physical Education, students can improve their skills, knowledge, and attitudes, which will help them lead active, healthy lifestyles as adults. Physical Education should be both "physical" and "educational," which means students will be asked to complete a variety of tasks within their Physical Education class, ranging from skills performances to rules and regulations quizzes. I strive to create lessons that are child-centered, worthwhile, exciting, fun, and meet the needs of my students. Physical Education builds grit, persistence, and teamwork through failure; it provides physical and cognitive challenges for its participants, and aids in creating well-rounded, college and career-ready students.
