Teaching Philosopy:

Physical education's primary goal is to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge that will allow them to lead healthy, active lifestyles. Physical education is about creating an atmosphere where every student feels comfortable expressing herself in an activity-based classroom.

Through exposure to a wide variety of activities, students will gain the necessary knowledge to understand the importance of and make educated decisions around opportunities to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The values, principles, and concepts associated with a quality physical education program surpass the boundaries of the gymnasium and playing fields. Physical activity is a catalyst for learning in all content areas. I am committed to providing programming in physical education, which allows frequent and diverse opportunities to engage in physical activities necessary to support a healthy mind and body.

The truly physically educated student will have acquired both competencies applicable to any lifetime activities and a desire to retain the healthy feeling associated with fitness and exercise. To this end, physical education makes a major contribution as the primary area of the curriculum concerned with helping students develop and maintain healthy lifestyles and physical skills.
