Physical Education Teacher Jobs in Virginia

A Physical Education Teacher in an elementary school setting plays a crucial role in promoting physical activity and healthy lifestyle habits to young children. They plan and deliver instructional programs that facilitate the development of motor skills, strength, body coordination, and knowledge of rules and strategies for various sports and physical activities. In addition to creating fun and engaging lessons, they also assess students' abilities, provide instructions and feedback, and encourage active participation and sportsmanship.
