The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.
