This course has been designed for all teachers of all levels or specialty to assist in improving the quality of Physical education Classes and assist in the management of students and bring back the fun in learning.
We have found these days that there is so much pressure on teachers and students to perform at a level and get work completed that we are losing focus on our health on many levels. There is one of many ways to bring that back and we have decided that Physical Movement in some capacity will definitely assist in helping with overall classroom engagement and overall student and teacher capacity.
Overall there are some goals that you would look at when introducing Physical activity as a strategy for any style of classroom management and overall success.
