'Growth Mindset' refers to the belief that success is achieved through hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence, not natural talent and ability. |
Sportsmanship can be replaced by proper sporting behavior to more accurately reflect gender equity. |
I bring a love of sports, physical exercise and fitness, and a belief in the power of sports to transform individuals through the process of learning to maximize individual talent and ability, and turn potential into greatness. This is the foundation of my teaching; to provide a platform for students to maximize potential and learn to apply the principles of proper sporting behavior in the group dynamic.
T.R.I.P.F.
Teamwork-Dedicate yourself to making others better.
Respect-Respect yourself, teammates, teacher, the game.
Inclusion-Treat others the way you want to be treated.
Personal Integrity-What you do when no one is looking.
Fair Play-Honor the rules of the game.
Students will internalize these five principles of proper sporting behavior, apply them to all student activities in P.E. class, and learn to integrate them into their strategies for successful living. I will model appropriate behavior, demonstrate skills, techniques, and strategies for success in all content areas, and dedicate myself to the art of developing best teaching and coaching strategies to target the individual learning styles of all my students.
I believe in fair and honest communication, and creating and maintaining a positive learning environment where failure is an integral component of success. Consequently, mistakes are celebrated as teachable moments and criticism is always constructive. I hope you can envision a team of students working together toward achieving a common goal, under the leadership and guidance of a passionate, enthusiastic and caring instructor and coach, in the context of my presentation. If not, here is a picture of what it might look like.
