My Project

While the traditional methods of direct teaching often focus on memorization and regurgitation. The specific items that I am requesting will make a difference with students progressive learning. The goals are to model suggestions in a more active reciprocal style of teaching students to exchange the students learning experiences surrounding Physical Education & Health and their academic atmosphere. This will encourage our students to stay special by providing them with innovative instructions in Physical Education & Health Projects. It seems that this has been shown to be sustainable by means of direct instruction.

The joy and excitement the students will have will also decrease bad behavior surrounding the school.

Additionally, Physical Education expectations have been highlighted to include priorities in knowledge and skills in lifetime activities. While Physical Education teachers tend to focus on implementing Project -Based Learning (PBL) and how it will simultaneously improve student learning and gain a seat at the table with other educational subjects by connecting with schoolwide initiatives. Students will show more appreciation from the connection they see and they are able to identify among the classes they take inside their educational environment.
