A Message from the Creator: Over the years many educators, students and parents have adopted the mindset of "can't" towards aspects of health and physical education. How many times have we heard teachers say, "I can't teach gym!" or a student say, "I can't do gym", or even a parent say, "I can't teach my child that sport!"? For some reason, physical education has become a daunting subject which many seem to shy away from, not fully recognizing the repercussions of doing so. My goal throughout this portfolio is to lead you on an exciting adventure in which you will learn not only why physical education is so important for today's youth, but how to plan, implement, assess and effectively manage an exciting physical education program that meets all the needs of the Ontario Health and Physical Education curriculum. It is my hope that by the end of this adventure your mind will be cleared of can't and filled with the wondrous possibilities of "can".
I wish you all the best on your learning adventure and I hope your future is filled with safe, inclusive, active and fun physical activities!
