The Daniel K. Inouye Elementary School Physical Education Website was created by Jerry Bevacqua.
The purpose of this website is directed at the general education, classroom teacher. Many classrooms teachers are employed at schools that do not have a Physical Education resource teacher. Plus, it is the author's belief, that in the future, the only way students will achieve the health and fitness goals that have been set by national and state agencies is if homeroom teachers take on the task of providing Physical Education. The classroom teacher, already overburdened with tasks and responsibilities, can use this website as an easy and accessible resource to help them plan and execute age appropriate and Standards-based lessons.
In no way does the author presume this website to be comprehensive or definitive of PE. There are many Physical Education resources available. However, this website details the author's personal experiences with Instructional Units and lessons.
Some of the content on this website had been originally written and published by Jerry Bevacqua for the Mililani Mauka Elementary School PE Website, when working as the PE teacher at that school. Many articles and "opinions" written at that time, have been rewritten, updated, or duplicated for this website.
