Professional Profile:
The Health & Physical Education Teacher is a vital member of PSD’s instructional team. As a bilingual school, the first responsibility of all faculty members is language development. This assuredly includes the Health & Physical Education Teacher. The development of physical education and health literacy in American Sign Language and English is as important as fostering physical skills.
It is expected that the Health & Physical Education Teacher is up to date with current research and trends in the emerging health education and physical fitness fields. This position is central in linking PSD with appropriate community entities to expand students, families and staff understanding of and use of healthy life practices. Cross curricular connections between classroom instructional units and health/physical education instruction are expected. All teachers are to work collaboratively with colleagues, to put in the time necessary to appropriately plan/prepare for instruction and to attend professional development activities.
Responsibilities:
Primary responsibilities include providing leadership for and implementing an engaging and developmentally appropriate school-wide health education program that is based on current and emerging information across topics (e.g. nutrition, human sexuality, fitness, environmental influences, safety). Planning and instruction should include language targets related to the area/unit of study throughout the Health/Physical Education curriculum
Teaching physical fitness that aligns with healthy practices is compatible with promoting healthy lives among students. Thus there should be a balance between non-competitive and competitive fitness activities. Working on school-based fitness/health campaigns and activities, and connecting PSD with relevant community organizations are part of the overall responsibilities.
Physical Demands:
This position may require the following physical demands.
PSD is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, PSD will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodations.
