SPEED - Vega Schools

SPEED (SPORTS PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ENRICHMENT DEPARTMENT) PROGRAM

GSPEED at Vega combines both the theory and practice of Physical Education curricula from around the world and implements new developments taking place in Physical Education in the 21st century. The application of physical education continues to change for the better as new studies show better practices and teaching approaches for children.

The last aspect that is not covered in the diagram is a reflection. Children are asked to describe what they did, how they did it, and did they enjoy it every step of the process.
