Elementary Physical Education Teacher
If you've taught for any length of time you are probably familiar with the feelings of fatigue, exhaustion, and maybe even burnout. High Fives and Empowering Lives brings a fresh perspective to education through a series of 9 fundamental values every teacher should strive to embrace. Wonderfully told, there are nuggets of wisdom in this book for everyone!
Laura Gunderson
Elementary PE Teacher
This short yet powerful read is perfect for anyone teaching or not who are looking to better themselves. As a teacher of 15+ years, this book made me realize what parts of the PE9 I was needing to refocus on.
Erik Myer
Supervisor of Health and Physical Education
Dave does a great job of incorporating a lot of information to help any PE teacher young or old to up their game and to become a great teacher.
Becky Bush
Physical Education Teacher
I think this is a great book for 1st year teachers and veterans alike. It will give you a jumping point if you are new and struggling or a refresh if you are seasoned and feeling a little stuck.
