Movement is an avenue to reinforce concepts
important in may areas of life. One of those
important concepts is the concept of working
together. We succeed more often when working
together and can make a stronger impact in our
lives, our communities, and the world through
learning experiences.

- Education through the Physical help others
develop an understanding of the world around them
through movement experiences that are
interconnected to all aspects of education. By
exploring various cultures through movement,
students will be able to comprehend the
similarities and differences that the cultural
mosaic of their society provides.

- Education has the power to influence people for
the rest of their lives. As physical educators,
we have a unique opportunity to foster students
development holistically through experiences that
are aimed to nurture their social, cognitive, and
physical development concurrently. Through
teachers, Education is responsible for creating
spaces that foster critical and creative thinking
that leads to children developing a greater
understanding of who they are and their place in
the world. Authentic learning stems from
Education that is built upon the emergent
interests of the student. Successive development
experiences need to incorporate cross-curricular
activities to protect the notion of integrality
that individuals naturally exhibit. Learning
exists in many contexts. Human movement is a
vehicle through which conceptual understanding
can be learned and expressed. In our rapidly
changing global society, technology allows us to
become more aware of the interconnectedness which
exists in all of its manifestations. Through the
study of movement and through movement
experiences, students will gain a greater
perspective, understanding, and sense of global
responsibility.
4Philosophy
The process of learning through movement is in
itself the experience which brings about the
knowledge, the practical skill and the felt
values integral to all life. Learning through
movement provides the opportunity to recognize
the intermeshing and collaboration of disciplines
within all imaginable environments, instill
beliefs, provoke thought and develop appreciation
of an integral world. Learning through movement
provides new perspectives that promotes learning
throughout life and establishes an attitude that
demonstrates an understanding of the
interdependence that exists throughout the world.
