Physical Education & Health

In Health, students develop the ability to promote overall health and wellness through hands-on and skills-based learning. Students use a variety of learning activities to build health-literacy. The courses use communication skills to drive class discussions leading students to new understandings. Collaborative learning assignments provide the opportunity to advocate for individual and school-wide health promotion.

 

The Mental and Emotional Health unit provides students the opportunity to build empathy skills through a variety of class discussions and activities acknowledging the feelings of others, and demonstrating compassion through a multitude of topics.

 

Throughout the Nutrition unit, students develop the ability to plan by making healthy choices that promote their own wellness through the creation of nutrition and exercise plans.
 

All of our units encourage students to practice problem solving by demonstrating their ability to analyze and synthesize information which is shown by their ability to ask thoughtful and insightful questions.

In Physical Education students participate in fitness, sport-education, and health related topics. Students use curricular experiences to build collaborative skills through partner and group work paired with physical activity in a variety of ways.
 

Every class presents the opportunity to collaborate, communicate, and plan ways to maximize physical activity and improve overall health and wellness.
