Philosophy

Every student has the right to a quality education that maximizes opportunities for learning and success for all children. This should include both mind and body the '' Total Child '' , along with proper teaching and modeling of socially acceptable morals, values, and attitudes. The needs of each child should be met at their own level.

Physical Education should be developmentally and instructionally appropriate to include a variety of individual characteristics such as age, body size, fitness and skill levels, previous experiences, and their overall developmental status.

My Favorite Physical Education Links

PE Central

This site contains a variety of resources including instructional strategies, classroom management ideas, lesson plans and procedures for starting class. There even is a question and answer area for teachers to get information. This site contains numerous links to other valuable sites. This is the best site I found for Physical Education teachers.

Sports-Media

This site has a lot of lesson plans as well as tons of games to use in the P.E. lesson. It covers officiating and has information for coaches as well. There is a pen pal area for both kids and adults. This is a key page with links all over the world. This is a highly recommended site for teachers, coaches and officials. It would be an okay site for students to make contact with a pen pal.

Susan's Physical Education Page

This is a site that is well organized with drop down menus that cover almost any sport you can imagine. There are also menus for games, adaptive pe, and field day ideas along with links to other pe sites. There are links for kids too!

There also trivia challenges and sports related games that are fun and educational. This is a very good site for kids that are interested in sports.

There also links to other P.E. sites. This is an okay site for teachers to get health and nutrition information. This is a very good site for teens to get some valuable consumer education.

A key link here is the World Wide Web of Sports which has information or links to almost any sport you could imagine, including martial arts, parlor games, surfing, boxing, outdoor sports, motor sports, and some sports I never even heard of. This is definitely a great resource site for P.E. teachers, and coaches. Also great for anyone interested in sports. Would be a good place to send students to do research on a sport of any kind.
