Teague Middle School
Richardson's project brought in-line skating to the curriculum of her physical education classes. Not only did her students have fun while learning a new activity, but they also gained cardiovascular benefits at the same time. This program took an existing interest and taught students about the proper use of the equipment, protective gear, and techniques. Students transferred what they learned in class to their extracurricular skating, increasing safety and the development of healthy habits.
