Elementary Physical Education Teacher, K-6
North Bellmore School District, Bellmore, NY, United States
A physical education (PE) teacher instructs students about sports, physical development, health, and proper nutrition. PE teachers show students not only how to play various sports, but also how physical activity benefits the muscles and overall health. PE teachers also plan activities that help make exercise-based learning more engaging for students. PE teachers must also adjust their curricula to adapt to children with disabilities or different physical abilities to create a positive experience for all students. PE teachers report directly to their building principal(s) and the PE principal liaison.
