Continues personal development through contributions to the growth and professional development of others.
Development Through Physical Education and Sports
I feel that the physical education and sport setting is so essential in developing positive behaviors throughout the developmental years. Not only are they vital physically and in motor development, they are proven to improve all of the concepts integrated into the social learning model: goal setting, self-efficacy, motivation, and dealing individually or collectively with success and failure. Involvement in sports can assist in the reinforcement of these positive attributes, and in many cases the individual will carry the same attributes/characteristics over to the classroom setting as well.
Extending Physical Education
Co-Director of Emory Sports Fitness Camp.
The Emory Sports Fitness Camp was founded in 1965 by members of the full-time teaching faculty in the Department of Physical Education. Their goal was to provide children with a fun and safe environment in which to foster a life-long appreciation for physical activity. Children today need physical activity more than ever! Thousands of children have benefitted from the program over the last 47 years and former campers now bring their children to the camp.
