K-12 Testimonials

“I recently was appointed as the Department Chair for Physical Education. One of my goals was to find someone that could come to our school and provide me and my staff with a professional development opportunity. I was reading some articles online and found something written by Amanda Stanec about the importance of quality PE everyday. I was immediately interested in talking with her. I called her and was very impressed with her passion, knowledge and enthusiasm for PE and healthy living. I knew I did not need to look any further.  I talked with Amanda several times before she came to our campus in August (2013). She performed a comprehensive review of our curriculum and program and provided me with a detailed report of suggestions and recommendations. She also performed a 6 session workshop for us including assessment for learning and TGFU (teaching games for understanding). Having taught PE for 15 years, I was so impressed with her honesty and willingness to listen as well as her knowledge and research based suggestions. I am so glad Amanda was able to come to us and look forward to bringing her back again someday soon!”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Amanda Stanec. I have had the opportunity to work with her on a number of occasions and I hope to have many more! Most recently, I reviewed an outstanding secondary physical education curriculum she developed for a Canadian province. Not only was the curriculum extremely thorough and nicely aligned with the standards and learning outcomes, it was innovative and experiential. Practical ideas for authentic assessment were embedded throughout the curriculum in a meaningful way. Amanda provided outstanding suggestions for teaching and learning while allowing for flexibility to adapt to the various needs of different school districts. She also addressed every learning domain, for a true interdisciplinary curriculum. In addition to this recent curriculum project, I have worked with Amanda in the areas of course development, research, and health and fitness initiatives.

On all fronts, Amanda’s work ethic, attention to detail, and passion are unmatched by anyone with whom I have ever worked.”

Higher Education Testimonial

“I have had the pleasure of working with Amanda for nearly 2 years on higher education curriculum development. Specifically, Amanda has designed three courses for students in a university Education program. Amanda was hired specifically for her incredible knowledge and understanding in teacher preparation in physical education. Her academic experience and research background coupled with her professional practice as a teacher made her the ideal person to develop these courses.

Amanda’s approach has been incredibly collaborative, resulting in the development of three outstanding courses for future PE teachers. Not only did she develop an evidence-based curriculum that is current and up-to-date, but Amanda also provided material on how best to deliver the course with an experiential learning approach. In addition, once course development was complete, Amanda has always been actively involved to provide ongoing support to the instructor(s) to ensure that the course is delivered as planned and the instructors have as much information as is needed. We have been extremely fortunate to have Amanda develop these courses for our university. I have no doubt that the future teachers who will receive these courses will be exceptionally prepared and will make great contributions to creating students who lead active and healthy lives.”
