I have been teaching at Roosevelt since the fall of 1997 and have taught Physical Education in the District since 1992.  I presently teach 50% of my time in the DAPE (Developmental Adapted Physical Education) Program at Roosevelt and 50% of my time in the DAPE Program at Dowling Elementary.  My goal with my DAPE Classes is to help enhance the physical fitness level of my students, their motor skills and enhance their knowledge of becoming more physically fit.  I believe that when a student is physically fit, they perform better academically.

Standards for Physical Education Classes taught in the Minneapolis District can be found here: http://healthphyed.mpls.k12.mn.us/
