Despite recent attention to the needs of Black youth, their perspectives are still noticeably absent from physical education in a way that fully encapsulates the full spectrum of their experiences. In our recently published book Critical Race Studies in Physical Education , we decided to shed light on issues that could undermine the ability of Black youth to have positive physical education experiences.

Core PE in secondary schools has very rarely been associated with the experience of home learning (or homework). PE lessons are almost universally homed within the defined curriculum, with extra-curricular provision providing further extension and applied learning in practical performance. Practical learning in PE has inherent value to the student. Perhaps the greatest value of the physical activity completed in PE lessons is that it may motivate or inform a young person to participate in a grea

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.

No matter how much you spice your lessons up, kids can only sit still for so long before boredom kicks in. Give it an hour (and that’s on a good day!), and fidgeting and yawning will ensue. Lucky for you, you have one ace up your sleeve: spray chalk games. They’re a great way to keep students engaged and get them moving at the same time. All you need is some removable aerosol chalk or homemade chalk powder.

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.

By the time the school year ends, it’s hard to tell who’s more ready for summer – teachers, students, or parents. After a long year of homework, projects, and early mornings, it’s nice to take a break and relax a little. No matter how hard it is to believe when you’re sitting by the pool or packing your suitcase for summer vacation, the next school year is right around the corner.

Most playground painting ideas focus on how to get kids to move, develop their social skills, and engage in unstructured play. But that’s only half the story. You can also incorporate playground markings in the teaching process to help kids learn about the natural world or grasp abstract concepts — numbers, fractions, geometric shapes, and more — through organic and embodied learning.

There was an article published in the Washington Post titled, “What Happened to PE? It’s Losing Ground in Our Push for Academic Achievement.” In it, Jay Mathews makes the case that when schools are looking to cut the budget, PE is the first to go, despite the fact that there is a positive correlation between PE and academic achievement. He recounts overcoming his aversion to PE by joining the cross-country team, which enabled him to thrive in a running-based PE class later that year.
