My Students

When working in a transfer school, you learn many of your students come from rejection or have been faced with many challenges. Our school gets students who need a second chance in life. Almost all of the students come from low-income homes. There are many students who act as the adult in their household, and juggle between school and work on a daily basis. Although they deal with daily hardship, they still come in with smiles on their faces and a drive to learn. As the physical education teacher, I get to see a different side to my students. My students are filled with laughter each time they enter and leave the gymnasium.

My students are my world.

They're the reason I do everything I can to make physical education fun experience. My goal is to provide opportunities for each and every one of my students. Being that I am the only physical education teacher at my school, it’s my responsibility to provided them with a well-developed physical education curriculum that allows them to be lifelong movers and thinkers.

My Project

By having these requested heart rate monitors, students will learn to track their heart rate. They will learn heartbeat data into personalized insights on stress, exercise and sleep. The feedback from this heart rate system will provide my students and me, feedback reports of meaningful physiological information that makes physical education fun and efficient. The automatic reports gives instant color coded feedback that will help inspire my students to increase intensity and reach desired goals. As the teacher, I will be able to monitor up to 40 students at once, which allows me insight on personal fitness goals and how I can improve or challenge students. I can use this system during all units that I teach during the school year. The incorporation of technology will make a significant difference in my physical education classroom.
