Reimagine the Role of PE to Reconnect With Your Students

Speaker: Jeremy Kellem, M.Ed. - Educational Strategist, Former Athlete, and CEO/Founder of W.I.N. (We Impact Now, LLC)

Welcome to My New Classroom: The Gym

Mindful PE

Our school has been closed since March, but today I got the chance to go in and take a peek at the gym and pack up my old classroom. It was such a great moment. Everything was empty, but well-organized. I'm following a wonderful PE teacher and have some very big shoes to fill. This will be my new view each morning when I walk into my job. The large windows let in so much light, I am beyond grateful to have the sun pouring in throughout the day.

Social Distance & Physical Education

Physical Education Ideas

Firstly, I hope you are doing well. Every country, everywhere in the world is at different stages with this pandemic and for some of us, our world has been flipped on its head. As someone who has taught health as well and passionate about the mental aspect as much as the physical aspect, do yourself a favour and don’t ignore your underlying feelings at this time… and feel comfort in knowing there are teachers and people everywhere feeling the same way.

Creating a Virtual PE Class in Google Slides

Mindful PE

One of the main challenges of going into my new PE position is the possibility of not being able to connect with the students for weeks, possibly months.
