Dan Gorman, Physical Education Teacher

At Horace Mann School we work with students in developing an understanding of motor skills and physical fitness. The students participate in physical activities that that develop motor skills and physical fitness by describing rules, skills, strategies, and etiquette associated with various physical activities; showing evidence of participating in a daily fitness plan; showing evidence of age-appropriate physical fitness; demonstrating motor skills for individual and team activities; and displaying etiquette and team building skills in physical activities.

In addition, considerable time is spent discussing the importance of making healthy choices in real or simulated situations including interpersonal conflict; proper care of the body; nutrition; safety; drugs, tobacco and alcohol; and exercise and recreation; and we work to improve age-appropriate physical fitness, encourage their participate in a daily fitness plan, and demonstrate motor skills required for individual and team activities and appropriate competitive and cooperative participation in physical education activities.

It's all about Lifetime Fitness!
