My Students

Our Title I middle school Physical Education students are learning the basic social concepts that can help them excel with their future co-workers. Great skills in all the employable fields are important, however, our Physical Education program teaches the skills that are valued by the corporations and the public sector. Skills such as team work, thinking on your feet, and leadership are paramount to being gainfully employed.

My Project

During our Physical Education classes, we devise lessons that will help our students become prime candidates for professional employment. The cooperative and team work skills are highly valued in the corporate and public sectors.

The safety equipment will help our students attempt to solve more challenging obstacles and problems without the fear of getting hurt.

The ability to solve issues that come up during a balance or counterbalance challenge will be valued in both our private and public employing sectors of our community.

Group balance and counter-balance activities can be done without fear of getting hurt if our students fall.
