My Bio...
My name is Mr. Tafoya or Coach T. I will be your 5th-6th teacher for this school year. I'm excited to be at TEACH Academy of Technologies. I began teaching Physical Education in 2015. In my classes, I hope to encourage sportsmanship, teamwork, personal growth, over a must win attitude. I find exercise/sport to be a great stress reliever, escape from frustrations, and an opportunity to strengthen one's self o matter winning or losing. Health and Wellness will be incorporated within our Physical Education structure. I will promote the power of decision making and goal setting as life skills and educate students on the importance of maintaining a health body and mind through positive behaviors. I believe in the value of arming students with practical, lifelong health skills, which cross over subject matter and develop character. |

“Yet young people do not automatically develop the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that lead to regular participation in physical activity; they must be taught.” |
