My focus in physical education centers on equity and inclusion in fitness, particularly access to fitness options in underserved communities of color. To teach my students about these activities, I often go beyond my school’s traditional PE space — and use the city as my physical education classroom.

Field Day is more than an end-of-year event for elementary physical education teachers. Its a celebration of movement, community, and the spirit of childhood. As an elementary PE teacher, I spend the entire year helping students build skills, confidence, and a love for physical activity.
