In many parts of the country, the summer break is nearly over. If you’re an educator, hopefully you’ve taken time to refuel yourself for the 2025–2026 school year! Teaching physical education is uniquely rewarding — and uniquely exhausting. Unlike classroom teachers who may get pockets of planning time throughout the day, our time with students is almost entirely active.

This was the first sunset from our family vacation in Corolla, North Carolina. We just returned from a much-needed week off. After time away with my family this summer, trading alarms and schedules for slow breakfasts and lots of laughter, I felt space open up in my mind that I didn’t even realize had been closed off. We had unscripted days and memory making moments that made me notice little things I had been missing: the sound of my adult kids joking with each other, how good a simple meal c

Adapted Physical Education Blog, Welcome Back Edition, July 2025 (reposted from July 2023 and updated) Greetings Arizona Health and Physical Educators! Hard to believe that a short 6 or 8 weeks ago, we were counting down to the END of the school year, and now here we are getting ready for another round of “meet the teacher” night! I don’t know about you but summer always provides me with just a taste of what my retirement schedule might look like, and I’m diggin’ it!

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Efficient care coordination for children with chronic and complex health needs demands not just strong individual efforts, but robust, interdisciplinary collaboration among school nurses, pediatricians, families, and other professionals. Too often, however, communication between schools and health care providers is blocked by confusing or incomplete consent processes.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. 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.

If someone asked you what a positive and inclusive PE culture looked like, what would be your answer? As a middle school physical education teacher, my goal is for all students to have a place where they feel valued, supported and motivated to participate. If you walked into my gym, I would want you to see students of all backgrounds and ability levels working side by side — encouraging one another, building skills and facing challenges as a team.

Attending NASN2025 in Austin was a reunion of the heart. Imagine over 1000 school nurses gathered in one space, each carrying stories of the deep knowing that what we do matters. It’s powerful to be surrounded by people who get it —who understand the load we carry and the joy that keeps us coming back. I was immediately struck by the energy and optimism that filled every corner of the conference center.
