Quotes by Administrators
The Staff Development that you gave here at Midland Independent School District was fantastic. As you know many districts throughout the nation are facing large class sizes just like we are here in Midland, Texas, making it hard for my teachers to think outside the box. When I presented my problem to you all, the response was “not a problem” we will change your teachers’ point-of-views! YOU DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU PROMISED, with the material, activities, and your positiveness you both motivated my teachers to try new and creative activities in their PE classes. The amazing thing is that even a semester later they are still using and talking about all the ideas, the input, and the knowledge they gained from your combined experience that was presented during the staff training session. Thank you both for caring about the quality of education of our children throughout the nation. You guys are great, and my teachers loved all the knowledge you gave them. Thanks for coming, and I know that your future workshops will continue to promote healthily lifestyles for students all over this land. I hope that other school districts will utilize your knowledge to train their teachers, because I know that their teachers will only benefit from your presentation. My teachers did, and as a coordinator for the district I don’t often get to say those words. Thank you for accepting my offer to come to Midland, Texas. (Gwen Smith, PEP Grant Coordinator, Midland Independent School District)
As I oversee our health and fitness program, for the district, it was very gratifying to see our elementary and middle school fitness staff members participate so willingly in our "Two PE Guys" one-day workshop. It was fun to see adults, including myself, transformed into invigorated children as we tried on the variety of activities presented by these two exceptional gentlemen. The information is sound, practical and can be incorporated the next day as teachers get back in their gymnasiums with students. I heard from several of my staff that said, "This is the best workshop I have ever attended." I agree! (Greg Erickson, Athletic Director Marysville School District)
"The variety of activites and enthusiasm for teaching during just a half day workshop with the TwoPE Guys had an immediate impact in PE classes throughout our K-12 district. We would love more time with Kelly and Dennis!! (Lynette Zuercher, Portland Public Schools, PE Curriculum TOSA)
"I will never view PE as an extra-curricular activity again, but more as a necessary component to excellent learning. Every administrator should attend." (Carol Sanders, Principal, Oregon City Sch. Dist.)
The experience with the Two PE Guys was full of fun, laughter and knowledge. It had been so long since we got to play as children. What made our experience even more special, was that for the first time we got to experience all of this with the three neighboring school districts, a community recreation program and a city agency. We laughed at our successes and our struggles, and came away with new friends. You guys are awesome!(Lori Poppe, PEP Grant Program Director, Springfield, Oregon)
The workshop provided a variety of fun and innovative activities for large groups with limited space. The Two PE Guys were fun, energetic, and provided a high quality session for both elementary and secondary physical education teachers.(John P. Bucey, CMAA, Corpus Christi ISD - Office of Athletics)
"Another great week filled with fun, cooperative activities that anyone could take immediately back to school and teach students and staff! The folk dancing was a great highlight to the Beyond Games and Gimmicks class. Kelly and Dennis are masters at keeping you engaged, laughing and learning even in a hot gym!
As an administrator, I've used the cooperative activities at recesses and have decreased my lunch referral rates due to conflicts in competitive games. I've also used the activities to raise staff morale, build community among teaching teams and improve school climate. It is time to take the Two PE Guys to the next level---a course for administrators." (Carol Sanders, Principal, Oregon City Sch. Dist.)
