FITNESS BASED PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Planned and designed the transformation of the physical education programs shifting focus to fitness and long term healthy living habits. Shifted curriculum to emphasize fitness over competition utilizing high tech tools to bring a healthier, more balanced approach to physical education.

The Physical Education curriculum focuses on creating an environment supportive of healthy behavior. The curriculum effectively impacts the overall health and fitness of the students, thereby increasing the likelihood that students will avoid a sedentary lifestyle. In this course, we will primarily focus on the 5 health components: Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Flexibility, and Body Composition and 6 skill-related components: Agility, Balance, Coordination, Power, Reaction Time, and Speed of physical fitness. We will be focusing on individual goals and increasing individual fitness levels to help students overcome adversity, build character, and strengthen peer relationships.
