Physical Education Department Mission Statement

It's the belief of this department that a physically educated individual/student:
• has learned the skills necessary to perform a variety of physical activities with competence in some and proficiency in a few
• is physically fit
• does participate regularly in physical activity
• understands the benefits of involvement in physical activity
• values physical activity and its contribution to a healthy lifestyle

  The program at Berlin High School is designed to develop these outcomes in our students with an emphasis on frequent opportunities for meeting success. Building self esteem and interest through our all-student all-active4 approach is the focus here. Some of the methods and tools used to achieve those ends include individual, dual and small group activities, critical/analytical thinking, peer tutoring, cooperative learning and self-assessment.

  The program should be continually assessed and adjusted to achieve the positive results that are so worthwhile. It is hoped that upon completion of this program, the students will enjoy the pursuit and maintenance of health and fitness and engage in a variety of physical activities throughout their lifetimes.
