WindhamMiddle School
Physical Education Philosophy and Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Windham Middle School Physical Education program to foster lifelong learning in an environment which:
Allows students to improve both their minds and bodies
Is safe and welcoming to all students
Creates a culture of respect
Allows every student to be self-directed in their learning and exploration of motor skills, physical fitness, and in their personal and social interactions.
At WindhamMiddle School we strive to provide all students with experiences that encourage and enable them to become self directed, enthusiastic, life-long learners and participants. We do this by offering a program that provides respect for individual needs and potential, and by providing a safe environment in which these can be explored. Though our program will offer the skills and the knowledge necessary for pursuit of athletic participation, the emphasis will remain on respecting and valuing individual achievements, developing teamwork, cultivating positive attitudes toward exercise, and on the development of individual health goals.
It is our mission to create a program in which students enjoy and look forward to Physical Education. It is only through such enjoyment that we can feel confident that they will seek out active play and continue their life-long pursuit of a healthy, active lifestyle.
