One of my primary goals as a physical educator is to reach each child, challenging each one to keep healthy and fit throughout their lifetime.  In Chamberlin's Physical Education Program, I provide learning experiences which are developmentally appropriate and will teach children how to be physically active in ways that increase physical competence, self-esteem and joy through lifelong physical activity.  Here are some areas in which I teach to achieve that goal:

        1.)  The Physical Education Program includes a balance of skills, concepts, game activities, rhythms and experiences designed to enhance the cognitive, motor, affective, and physical fitness development of every student.

        2.)  I provide experiences which encourage children to question, integrate, analyze and communicate while gaining a wide view of the world.

        3.)  Throughout the year, I teach activities which allow children opportunities to work together to improve their emerging social and cooperation skills.

        4.)  Ongoing fitness assessment is used as part of the process of helping children understand, enjoy, improve and maintain their physical health and well-being.

        5.)  Grade decisions are based primarily on individual assessments of children as they participate in physical education class activities, and not on the basis of a simple test score or ability level.  Also, students are encouraged to self evaluate their skills and behavior.

        6.)  Finally, physical education class is designed so that all children are involved in activities which allow them to remain continuously active.

    Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding Chamberlin's Physical Education Program.  By working together, I am certain we will be able to help students to enjoy a lifetime of physical activity.
