About The Teacher
Welcome to Mrs. Macaulay's Physical Education Home Page!!! I love being a Physical Education teacher. I have found that my overall philosophy of teaching and coaching has developed through my own personal experiences I encountered during my youth in softball and in school. My experiences are the reason why I coach the way I do now. I have used my experiences to better my own coaching style. I value the mistakes I have seen, and do my best to re-evaluate how I can make the experience better for my students, and my own children now that I am a mother. I believe that physical education should teach not only the physical (skill/fitness areas) of PE (as you might remember it), but also the affective and cognitive areas that can be connected to physical education as well. Students will work towards making individual improvements within their physical activities throughout the course of the year. They will be able to tie in their thinking skills (cognitive) with the different physical activities they learn. They will understand why physical activity is important and how it can benefit them for a lifetime. Students will also learn life lessons through actively partipating in physical activities, displaying good behavior and attitude, and showing effort and improvement within their daily assignments. All activities will support at least one of the 7th/8th grade physical education standards (posted on the website as well). Experience and Accomplishments: Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology - California Baptist University Teaching Credential- California Baptist University, Riverside, CA Master's Degree in Kinesiology (Physical Education Pedagogy)- CSULB California State University Long Beach Worked at Jurupa Middle School since February 2007

Mission Label:


Mission
It is my goal to provide a safe and energetic learning environment for all students in which they can challenge themselves to become “Fit for Life”. I believe Physical Education is a subject which should be valued to all students. My goal is to ensure that all students can learn why exercise is important to their life in the future, and give them opportunities to be physically active for a lifetime.
