Personal Teaching Statement
As a physical education teacher with a passion for outdoor adventure sports and coaching, I believe that movement and nature can play a transformative role in the lives of students. I am committed to creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment that promotes physical activity, teamwork, and personal growth.
My approach to teaching emphasizes experiential learning and hands-on activities that allow students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings. Whether we're hiking through the mountains, climbing on a rock face, or paddling down a river, I strive to create opportunities for students to challenge themselves, build confidence, and develop their skills.
In my classes, I also prioritize safety and respect for the natural environment. I believe that outdoor adventure sports can teach students valuable lessons about risk management, environmental stewardship, and personal responsibility.
Above all, I am dedicated to fostering a love of physical activity and outdoor adventure in my students. I believe that through these experiences, students can develop lifelong habits of healthy living and a deep appreciation for the natural world. I am excited to share my passion for outdoor adventure sports and coaching with my students and help them discover the joy of movement and exploration.
Running
Running has alway been a large part of my life. I ran my first 5k in 2nd grade and have yet to stop. I ran through all of middle school and high school and have continued my running career at SUNY Delhi.
Climbing
Climbing is a more recent endeavor of mine, only beginning since I have been in college. I love the physical and mental challenges and most of all enjoy going out to beautiful places in nature
