Welcome back for a new exciting school year 2022/23.  I am Mrs. Shepherd and will be your students physical education teacher.  I began teaching at ICSAtlanta when it opened in 2015!!! I am a native German speaker and graduated from KSU with a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education. I have worked in the past as an Moid teacher as well as taught Adapted Pe. In Germany, I received my associate degree and finished with a “Certificate for the Hotel and Catering Business” working in hotels in Germany and the US.

I love teaching our students about how important physical movement is for their bodies and that it directly relates to health. Healthy body , healthy mind!

I also use Academic Infusion. “It is the integration of language arts, math, geography, and other academic subjects into physical education programs. It could be number, letter, color, money, or shape recognition, addition, subtraction, multiplication, fractions, telling time, counting money, spelling, etc.

We have been an accredited IB school and the Physical Education department will be incorporating the IB program to connect classroom learning with Physical education.

 I enjoy seeing the improvements our ICSAtlanta students are making on their skill acquisition whether it is on their motor skills or on their character skills (leadership skills) over the course of the years. Having good social- and communication skills is key to become a well-rounded citizen of our society, especially in future relationships of any kind.

I am very excited to announce that Mr. Jason Wiren will be our parapofessional for this year. He “is a child at heart” and loves working with children.
