How Professional Associations Have Made Me a Better Health and Physical Education Teacher and Leader

SHAPE America

When I began my teaching career in 2007, I was 22 years old. Four years of college had gone by faster than I could blink my eyes and then I was back in high school — now responsible for the education of students who were only four to seven years younger than me.
