My Students

In the world of PE/Health we have the opportunity of seeing every single student within the school. Healthful Living is a required elective for students that gives them the chance to learn about all aspects of health--physical, mental, emotional, and social.

The students at Githens Middle school are what I consider to be a high-achieving, diverse collective of resilience and greatness!

Although our students have different backgrounds, different races & ethnicity, and different economic status, they all show up to our school with the desire to learn, to be better, and to do better.

My Project

In the health classroom is where students will begin to learn about real world issues they will face. These issues include mental health, emotional health, good nutrition, personal health/hygiene, diseases, consumer health, the truth about alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, and loads more!

With technology being at the core of how children are learning in this generation, we desire to utilize technology to teach about these topics that we know students will face.

Although class discussions are an excellent way to teach children how to speak, how to share their opinions/feelings, how to socialize with etiquette, and how to analyze information verbally, it is not always the best way that students learn. Not to mention, we do not have all the time in the world to sit and discuss topics all day long. Access to technology will broaden the variety of lesson methods and will help disseminate curriculum more efficiently!
