Dear Parents,

     Physical Education is at the core of a comprehensive approach to promoting physical activity throughout NSU-E Lab School. All children should participate in quality physical education classes every school day.

     Physical Education has the potential to help students develop the knowledge, attitude, skills, behavior and confidence needed to be physically active for life. Leading professionals in the field of physical education have developed a “new kind” of physical education that is fundamentally different from the “four sport” curriculum of decades past.

     As the P.E. teacher for the students at NSU-E LAB School, I will promote and implement the continuance of a quality physical education program for all students. P.E. will emphasize participation in lifelong physical activity using a skill theme teaching strategy. This approach will allow students to become competent in a variety of locomotor, non-manipulative and manipulative skills that students can use enjoyably and confidently to play a sport, perform a dance, or participate in other physical activities.

     Check back often for updates and more information coming soon!!!

     I look forward to seeing you at P.E.

About Me

     My name is Patrick Self. I am truly excited to be a part of NSU- E Lab this year. I am originally from Vernon parish, and I have been with Coach Mike McConathy and the NSU Men's Basketball team for the last three years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Physical Education and Health, and I have a Master's degree in Educational Leadership.

     I am familiar with many of the faculty, students, and parents that make up the community of our school from my student teaching and principal internship experience under Ms. McCain and Billie Sepulvado. I am excited to finally be an official part of the terrific staff at NSU-E Lab, and I look forward to working with everyone to strive for educational success for every student.
