I graduated from Coastal Carolina University with a Bachelors of Science degree in Physical Education.
Research proves that consistent physical activity increases learning, enhances self esteem, and improves health in children. Physical education is necessary in order to achieve these outcomes. Research also indicates that students need to participate in physical activity daily. These benefits are too important to neglect by minimizing the value of physical education as part of the total curriculum package.
The activities and skills covered in the elementary years are fundamental skills, sport skills, games, rhythms and dance. Emphasis is placed on developing a broad foundation of motor skills for all students through curriculum while fostering respect and responsibility for others and self through instruction. Students at this level find time for experimentation, practice, and decision making about all movement possibilities.
