Goals
• Get kids moving
• Lifetime Activity
• Increase Health
Get Kids Moving
• In K-12 Physical Education programs, the main focus is to get kids moving.
• 95% of the time they spend in class they should be physically active.
• Great channel for energized kids to exert energy.
Lifetime Activity
• A way to get kids to enjoy physical activity is to teach them a lifetime activity.
• This could be a team or individual sport.• If a child finds an activity they enjoy, they are
more likely to continue this activity as an adult.
Increase Health
• Burns body fat• Increase in muscular strength• Increase in muscular endurance• Provides a better body composition• Increase in cardiovascular endurance• Good for your heart
Why I chose Physical Education
• Kids
• Interest
• Active
Kids
I enjoy working with kids of all ages. I currently coach football at the 9th grade level. I receive great joy when I can teach them something, see them learn it, and apply it to their life.
Click the picture below to view a video of a drill sergeant classroom. This is not the teacher that I would want to be, but rather an example of what not to do.
Interest
I am interested in all of the components of Physical Education.
• Physical Activity• Health• Participation• Skill Development
Active
I am an active person. I enjoy being active whenever I can. I like to play both individual and team sports. I also enjoy playing games than involve me to be active.

has• more than doubled for preschool children aged 2-5
years and adolescents aged 12-19 years• tripled for children aged 6-11 years.
• At present, approximately nine million children over 6 years of age are considered obese.

involves a variety of activities• Can be accumulated throughout the day in
school, during PE and recess, during intramural sports, and in before-school and after-school programs.
