Relentless School Nurse

JANUARY 3, 2023

Today is our first day back to school after a much-needed holiday break. My Camden, New Jersey school district is one of two in NJ that is instituting a temporary return to universal masking following our break. I am so thankful to the team at Project N95 for providing more than 7,000 adult and 5,000 preschool-size masks for my district. The power of social media once again offers connections that would have not been possible without relationships built, albeit virtual.

A TrekDesk Work Station. I once coached a student-athlete who had the most peculiar study habits. Like many students, she often found herself falling asleep shortly after opening her books. Her solution to this problem was unique. She began studying during exercise sessions. She would prop a book on her elliptical trainer or treadmill and read while pounding out the miles.

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.

It has long been argued that teaching and coaching must be based on sound, rigorous research and systematic evidence of what works, how and why it works, where it works and for whom it works (Slavin, 2002). Teaching and coaching often relies on idiosyncratic (Mosston & Ashworth, 2008) and incomplete, inaccurate or 'folk' understanding of research and evidence, what Green (2000) described as 'everyday philosophies' of practice.

That said, the two most exciting games on television over the past two weeks didn’t take place in the NFL.

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.

Instead of driving home inebriated, they did the right thing and stayed over at the host’s house so they could “sleep it off.” After a few hours of sleep and assuming they were OK to drive, they headed for
