Victoria is in her ninth year of teaching 7-12th grade physical education on Long Island, New York. Three years ago she started teaching a dual enrollment exercise science class where high school students can earn college level credit. She is actively involved at her school and has been a club advisor for the student council and health club. In recent years she has also served as a mentor to student-teachers and new faculty members. Victoria was named softball coach of the year twice and also coaches volleyball. Most recently, she was recognized for everything that she does for students and her community by being named the 2025 Nassau County Secondary Physical Education Teacher of the year. 

 

Distinguished PE has officially launched new self-paced courses! You can take them for graduate credits, for hours toward renewing your teaching license, or simply for your own professional growth and reflection.

Each course aligns with a chapter from the book Distinguished Physical Education and provides opportunities for authentic, job-embedded learning.

 

The following three credit, self-paced courses are now available:

DPE 101: Promoting Inclusivity and Engagement

DPE 102: High Expectations for Student Behavior

DPE 103: Optimizing Use of Space and Resources

DPE 104: Standards-Based Content and Language Objectives

DPE 105: Assessing Students’ Progress and Understanding

 

You can earn three graduate-level credits for each course (15 total if you complete all five) through Colorado State University Pueblo, which can help teachers move over on their pay scale in many districts. These credits can also be used toward a Masters Degree at CSU!

If you’re looking for renewal hours, each one offers up to 100 hours toward your teaching license.
