⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — You really think I’d give my former PE teacher anything less?!?!?!
I had the privilege of having Mr. Swasey as a PE teacher many times through the years! A few years in elementary school, one year in middle school, and then closed the circle by signing up for his PE class once when I was in high school. This book made me learn even more about him, and really take on a whole new appreciation for him and how he approached his classes!
I’d recommend for anybody looking for a fun read but definitely anybody within or considering the education world. Mr. Swasey didn’t find education right out of college, and I think it’s important to highlight to anybody that you don’t always need to have things figured out right away. For educators, this book offers a lot of insight and personal stories to take away from, and build on your personal experiences as a teacher.
