What Makes LDTPE Different?
Why Teachers Love It
LDTPE curriculum is designed for easy implementation and customization to fit each teacher's unique teaching style. This flexibility allows educators to seamlessly integrate robust social-emotional learning (SEL) without encroaching on valuable classroom time. The program empowers teachers to deliver engaging lessons that resonate with their students, fostering an environment where both physical and emotional growth can flourish.
Why Students Thrive With It
LDTPE emphasizes experiential education, allowing students to learn through interaction rather than traditional lectures. This hands-on approach encourages collaboration and peer engagement, enabling students to develop essential social skills in a dynamic environment. By participating in activities that promote teamwork and leadership, students gain confidence and a deeper understanding of themselves and their peers.
Why Districts Choose It
LDTPE effectively meets social-emotional development goals outlined in Districts' Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAP) while respecting the constraints of packed classroom schedules. Each lesson is carefully aligned with California State physical education content standards, as well as CASEL's core themes. This alignment ensures that districts can achieve their educational objectives without sacrificing instructional time.
Why It Actually Works!
LDTPE is grounded in neuroscience and best practice pedagogy, making its implementation feel natural rather than forced. Instead of relying on worksheets or isolated lessons, the program integrates SEL into daily activities, allowing students to practice skills in real-world contexts. This approach not only enhances retention but also fosters a supportive learning atmosphere where students can thrive emotionally and academically.
