About Me
My name is Ernie Williams. I always knew I wanted to teach; I just wasn't sure what I wanted to teach. I spent the first four years at Sacramento State University studying to become a math teacher. In my final semester, I realized what I really wanted to do—physical education. I switched majors, started over, and finally graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, with a concentration in Physical Education. I earned my single-subject physical education teaching credential the following year and began working for Manteca Unified School District in 2006. The rest, as they say, is history.
While there are a lot of things I like about my job as an Adapted Physical Education teacher, one of the things I love most is working with such a diverse set of students. My students range from three years old to twenty-two years old and from the intellectually delayed to the physically disabled. My goal is to teach them how to be safe and successful with physical activities. I teach students at 12 schools sites in 3 cities in the Central Valley. When I'm not on the road or in class, my students can find me at Lincoln Elementary School, located at 750 E. Yosemite Avenue, Manteca, CA 95336. And I'm only a call or click away if they ever need me, (209) 858-7320, [email protected]. |
