We are raising healthy, active, and positive citizens in Louisiana's rural wetlands! Our nations' future athletes, coaches, mentors, community volunteers, trainers, scientists, inventors, engineers, business, community leaders, doctors, and teachers just might be in my rural, high-poverty physical education classroom! I believe they are! The under-performance of our students on standardized tests can be tied to lack of student relevant materials. Constructivist learning involves concrete, hands-on approaches, that are motivated by exciting, tangible, real-world examples, linked across other disciplines. Gymnasiums are designed to be anti-stimulating, brick and mortar. Therefore, it is essential for the gym setting to increase sportsmanship, cooperation, teambuilding, and essential building blocks of lifelong health and physical fitness.
