Establishing Effective Protocols in Physical Education Class
Learn the Best Practices to Help with Classroom Management
Testimonials
Elementary School
"This course helped me to examine, evaluate, and analyze my PE program to ensure that my students are getting the best learning experience. Reviewing appropriate protocols helped me to tweak a few routine things in order to make sure I'm meeting all students' needs in PE. What I noticed as I read articles, watched videos, and responded to thought provoking questions was that I was not maximizing total activity time during my class time of 55 minutes. I received great suggestions on how to make that happen from my instructor. Thank you PE Central for offering this great course so I can continue to grow as a productive PE instructor."
Middle School
"As a first year PE teacher, the information I learned in this course was very valuable. I enjoyed the course work but learned as much from teacher feedback."

Your Instructor
I have been in education for 25 years as a teacher and technology trainer as well as mentoring teachers with implementing technology. I strive to continue to influence all education stakeholders in the process of changing and getting better at their craft. As part of getting better at teaching and student learning, I completed the American Master Teacher Program (AMTP) curriculum which allowed me to better prepare students for challenging and fun activities within the curriculum. As important trends and programs have developed over the years the skills of being an effective teacher has remained the catalyst to appropriate learning experiences for all students. With the many reflective experiences I have had throughout my tenure I feel that employing effective teaching strategies is the key to a successful program.
