My Mission

My mission in teaching this personal fitness class is to help all students develop the knowledge, skills, motivation and behaviors that will promote and reinforce a lifetime commitment to wellness through a physically active and healthy lifestyle.  I want to help students become physical activity and health advocates who will feel competent in helping others establish personal fitness programs.

I am...

1.  committed to my students and their learning.
2.  knowledgeable of the subject I teach and how to teach the subject to my
     students.
3. responsible for managing and monitoring the learning of my students.
4.  a systematic thinker about my practice and I learn from my experience.
5.  a member of various learning communities.

Course Goals

The following four course goals are for students to:
1.  Acquire knowledge of fitness benefits and principles.
2.  acquire and use self-management skills.
3.  become physically active and build fitness.
4.  become independent decision makers.

Course Outcomes

  • give students the knowledge and desire to establish personal health and fitness programs
  • educate and motivate students to want to stay physically active and make healthy lifestyle choices far beyond their high school years
  • help students realize that regular physical activity will increase their energy level and productivity
  • provide safe, challenging, and enjoyable activities that will allow students to assess and evaluate their lifestyles
  • help students to realize that personal fitness is just that, personal, and that their bodies will not be compared to others in any other way
  • help students understand the value of participating in physical activity to promote psychological well-being
  • help students develop positive attitudes about their physical self-images because they will be making improvements in their programs and lifestyles
  • help students realize that disease prevention, rather than treatment, can drastically cut health-care costs
  • give students the confidence to take control of many aspects of their lives
