As a Physical education teacher it is my job to teach students about how to be healthy in their everyday lives. I specifically want to teach students in a high school setting where physical education is sometimes undervalued as just playing dodgeball in the gym.

There are multiple ways of learning that every teacher should acknowledge like visual learner, auditory learner, and tactile learner. One chief of academics in Palm Beach, Janis Andrews, said, “Some children

Jumpstart Academy is a program designed to keep children active and healthy, while providing them with the necessary fundamental movement skills needed to excel in sports and games. I was delighted with my involvement in this program as it was very much exciting and exhilarating to see the younger generation evolve as not only athletes but also as members of the community. My goal within the program was to provide the youth with opportunities to achieve success through physical literacy. On a weekly basis, we would start off the day with a warmup activity to ensure the body and mind is prepared for the upcoming exercises. Each week was divergent from the previous one as there was a new fundamental skill to focus on. For example, week 2 would

Physical education is defined nowadays as a “systematic instruction in sports, exercises, and hygiene given as part of a school or college program” (Park). When most people think of the term “physical education” they think of it as “a broad, inclusive term comprising the fields of physical education, health education, safety education, athletics, recreation, dance education, kinesiology and so on” (Zeigler 1).
