I have experience teaching middle and high school Health Education and Physical Education in Illinois and Nevada. I have been a member of curriculum writing teams for the high school level and that is where my passion lies. Writing curriculum is a joy for me, especially for PE since there are not many resources to begin with. Like most of you, I found myself in a hard place when everything was shut down due to COVID, but that is also how I ended up creating so much materials to share with you all.

A good combination of teacher-centered and learner centered with more emphasis leaning into learner centered and student discovery.
