Educational Philosophy

I believe health and physical education are some of the most important topics to be taught

in schools. Often people think of these subjects as an elective or just a credit they need to pass

the grade level but these subjects are much more than that. Health and PE are subjects that teach

students important life skills to be able to live an active and healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately some

students don’t have access to learning this information about Health of PE outside of the school

setting, which is why it is so important that these subjects are taught in school. Students that are

enrolled in a quality health education program are able to learn about many important topics like

nutrition, mental health, as well as goal setting. These aspects of health are all things that are

important to ensure that you are making choices throughout your life that will be beneficial. PE

teaches students basic skills like throwing and kicking a ball which are more important than you

would think because they aren’t things that come naturally to everyone. PE and Health go hand

and hand because a great way to not only help your physical well health but also mental health is

to exercise. Being active is a great way to help relieve stress and improve your whole being.

These things are why I am so passionate about teaching quality Health and PE programs.

Unfortunately these programs in schools may be the only education some students get about

these subjects which is why they are so important. Teaching students how Health and PE work

together and showing them how they can improve their overall well being by teaching them fun

and entertaining ways to do so is a great way to set them up for success for living a healthy and

active lifestyle.
