Philosophy

As a physical educator, I believe that physical education should equip students with the tools necessary to make healthy individual choices by providing an environment which adds value, meaning, and an understanding of a physically educated person through the implementation of activities and curriculums beyond the norm.
 
A quality physical education program consists of the development of skills, fitness, knowledge based concepts, and personal responsibility (sportsmanship, character, cooperation, collaboration, communication, etc.).
 
My Passion is for each student to leave the classroom with a new found knowledge and appreciation of the concept of being physically active. Physical Education must provide a safe learning environment, which is conducive not only for optimal learning of all students, but also one that allows students the freedom of self expression and self actualization.
