Hello!

My name is Paul Soriano and I am a student teacher at Jefferson

Elementary. I am currently a senior at Arizona State University on my way to
receiving my Bachelors Degree in Physical Education. Growing up Ive always been
an active child and every time my class had physical education, it would always
make my day. I loved the class then and I still enjoyed every single thing about it
today. Now I can bring all my passion and knowledge to students and inspire them
enjoy physical education as well. If you have any questions you can reach me at
psoriano@asu.edu or 480.472.8712.
Sincerely, Mr. Paul Soriano

Mesa Public Schools Physical Education at the

elementary level addresses all learning domains:
psychomotor, cognitive, and affective. No other
area of the curriculum is designed to help children
to learn to maintain and active lifestyle. Thus,
physical education is a necessary component of
the total school curriculum. I believe students
must experience and learn physical skills and
understand their conceptual components. The
instruction is based upon the essential
components of a quality program which:
1. Is organized around content standards
2. Student centered and developmentally
appropriate
3. The core of the program is physical activity and
motor skill development
4. Teaches self-discipline and management skills
5. Promotes inclusion of all students
6. Focuses on process over product
7. Promotes lifetime personal health and wellness
8. Teaches cooperation and responsibility and
promotes sensitivity to diversity.
