Coach Woody’s PE Philosophy
Physical Education is
the aspect of education that utilizes physical activity to contribute to the
student’s fitness, psychomotor, cognitive, and affective areas of
development. As a physical
education teacher, I strive to provide students with the knowledge and
skills needed to develop a healthy and fit lifestyle.
By providing quality standards based instruction, students will
engage in learning opportunities while having fun and staying physically
active. The physical education
program will help students strengthen the skills that have already been
developed and provide opportunities for various new skills to be acquired.
I believe that all students can
increase their level of fitness regardless of their fitness level or
athletic ability. The physical
education program helps students develop lifetime skills which will enable
the student to lead a healthy and productive life both in and out of school.
The learning environment will reflect an atmosphere conducive to the
development of positive social and emotional growth.
Various activities ranging from traditional to non-traditional, as
well as individual and team activities will be incorporated into the
curriculum in order to reach students of all skill and interest levels.
Physical Education grades will be aligned with the
New Mexico Physical Education

students will be graded in the following
