| There Is No Such Thing as Just Being a "Gym" Teacher! |
| Physical education and other fine and practical arts subjects sometime play second fiddle to the regular core subjects. Yet, as physical education teachers we know that we do make a difference in the lives of students. This presentation will focus on EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING. We all know that it does not come automatically and it does take perseverance, patience, and a passion for improving the lives of young people. The direction a teacher can take to improve performance in the classroom will be addressed. |
