Gloria Siech Physical Education Award 

GLORIA SIECH PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER AWARD
Ms. Gloria Siech was a physical education teacher from 1967-1998 and our district’s first K-12 Physical Education Content Specialist from 1998-2003. She worked effortlessly to bring physical education to high standards in our San Francisco’s elementary and secondary physical education programs. She pioneered the distinguished elementary physical education program that thrives today, and she initiated a standards-based curriculum guide for a comprehensive and quality physical education program for our secondary schools. Gloria believed in talent and leadership and in a strong physical education program that engaged student learning and success.
The recipient of the award is a leader and exhibits the following attributes in education:
  • Practices a developmental and grade-appropriate instructional program
  • Uses content standards and ongoing assessment to inform instruction
  • Varies instruction to differences in movement and learning abilities
  • Provides students with adequate and specific feedback
  • Plans, develops, and delivers meaning instructional content
  • Provides a variety of learning opportunities for student success
  • Reviews curriculum, teaching practices, and assessment tools
  • Guides program assessment to affect meaningful curriculum change
  • Seeks professional development opportunities
  • Contributes to the professional development of colleagues
  • Models professionalism, leadership, and collaboration among colleagues
  • Advocates for the importance of quality physical education in our schools
The Gloria Siech Physical Education Teacher Award recognizes exemplary work by physical educators in the elementary, middle school, and high school divisions. Physical education teachers nominate deserving colleagues, and the Academic and Professional Development Physical Education Department decides on the most outstanding candidates in the elementary and secondary divisions that best represent quality physical education instruction and leadership in SFUSD.

​Recipients are announced and acknowledged at the SFUSD District Wide Professional Development Day at the beginning of each school year.
