Health and physical education are more important today than they have ever been. I hope to implement a fun, well rounded program that will get my students excited about physical education. Being at such a small school, my students miss out on a lot of extra curricular activities like team sports. I hope to bridge that gap by being able to introduce these activities during PE, giving them a foundation they can stand on upon entering high school. I also hope to incorporate more low stakes, less stressful physical education concepts like healthy eating, mindfulness and stretching. This is where physical education goes beyond physical fitness and is shown to improve academic performance and reduce stress and anxiety.
