Across the country, PE teachers are striving to revolutionize what we do and who people perceive us to be. Our mission is to create physically literate individuals, but how can we expect to do that with inadequate resources? I serve a very unique population of students, so they deserve to have unique experiences when they visit my gym. This means straying from the typical basketball and soccer units with paper/pencil assessments. Though there is nothing wrong with those units and assessments, not all of my students will flourish the way they deserve to. By funding my project, you will make a difference in the lives of my 150 students. You will help visual learners to see what a curl-up should actually look like. You will help my critical thinkers analyze videos and GIFs so that they can dissect a skill. You will help make assessments more interactive and provide my students with a chance to self-assess their performance each day. You will help my non-athletes dance along with Sid the Sloth or work-out with an Avengers themed video, and you will help me be the best teacher I can be. PE should be a time where everyone is able to have fun and be excited to learn. This projector and screen would go a long way in helping to make this possible for my students. Thank you for taking the time to learn about what I do and for considering me and my students.
