Mr. Carrasquilla
Greetings!
I am a bilingual educator, fluent in both English and Spanish.
I am one of SEVEN Health and Physical Education instructors at Tenafly Middle School.
I have been working with the Tenafly Public Schools for six years, and I will be entering my fourth year as a Health and Physical Education teacher.
I graduated from Kean University in 2011 with a B.A in Psychology and in 2014 I graduated from William Paterson University with a B.S in Health and Physical Education K-12 with a Driver's Education Certification.
Along with teaching Health and Physical Education, I also coach 3 sports at the High School level:
Boys Soccer (Fall), Boys Basketball (Winter), and Lacrosse (Spring) at Tenafly High School
Teaching Philosophy
The main goal is to have as minimal stress as possible, try to reach optimal health and increase physical activity.
Self-actualization: accepting your potential, and becoming all that you are capable of being.
All of this would not be complete without having suitable social and intrapersonal skills, being physically healthy, and being properly educated.
It is crucial for students to feel good about themselves so they can continue living a healthy, valuable, and respectable lifestyle.
It is not just about rolling the ball out and letting them play, it is more than that...
How students feel early in their life about Health and Physical Education will pave the road for THEIR FUTURE.
Therefore, we as instructors must always make Health and Physical Education a FUN and LEARNING experience, for students to continue to want more of it.
