Biography
Michael E. Gosset, EdD, is a lecturer and Coordinator of Physical Education at Hostos Community College, City University of New York. Prior to that, he taught physical education, primarily to grades K-8, for more than 25 years. He has written numerous articles and is an active contributor to STRATEGIES, a journal for sport and physical educators.
"Dr. Gossett's Movement Education and Skills Themes framework for teaching physical education, especially at the elementary level, is the most appropriate way physical education should be taught. It involves teaching through progressions and focusing on skills verses focusing on games and competition. Skills themes help the physical educator differentiate lessons better in addition to achieving the national standards. With this approach students are able to achieve a higher level of success and with this success comes a greater percentage of students wanting to remain physically active throughout their life."--Amy Monsegur-Colon, Physical Education Teacher, NYC Department of Education
