Shawn's information
My mission as a health and physical educator is not only to improve an individual’s level of fitness, but to provide knowledge, skills, and attitudes so they can live a life long healthy and active lifestyle. Children today are choosing a more sedentary approach to life. With type II diabetes on the rise in children and young adults, it is important for our children to start being more active and make healthy choices.
I abide by the statement “practice what you preach.” My goal as a teacher is to provide knowledge, advocate, and exemplar a healthy lifestyle to influence students to make smart and healthy decisions in their years to come.
The areas of PE and Health have been greatly over looked, and it is in my well being to make a change so not only students learn the importance of making healthy decisions, but practice it for future years to come. Providing knowledge, skills, and influencing attitudes is critical to living a life long healthy and active lifestyle.
