DISTINGUISHED PHYSICAL EDUCATION
"The intricate details that have gone into this book come from relevant experience by being in classrooms and seeing success through coaching cycles using these strategies. I plan to use this book for a district wide book study to have a common ground of PE best practices, from first year to veteran teachers."
-Jen Smith, PE Instructional Curriculum Specialist
"So many resources are aimed at general classroom teachers, leaving specialty areas like PE left in the dark. Finally a book for Physical Education teachers written by an expert teacher and instructional coach who understands the challenges of teaching and learning in this specific context."
-Connie Navarro, Instructional Coach
"This book fills an enormous, glaring gap in the support system of every Physical Education teacher who feels like mentorship, instructional support, and resources just don't exist for them the way they do for other teachers."
-Michael Glawson, Ph.D
