The Relentless School Nurse: Are You Running Out of Steam?

Relentless School Nurse

It is barely one month into school and I have already run out of steam. Does anyone else feel this way? I can’t blame it on my age, that would be too easy. What I do know is that there was hope for this year to be less hectic, less traumatic, and less fraught with barriers to health. So far that is not my experience. The frenetic energy of school has ratcheted up to a level that is even more chaotic than last year. .

Early Spring in Canada is a time of contrast. Here are some examples that I witnessed this weekend: Canada geese, disappointed after their long flight from the south, circling overhead, searching for open water. But the lakes are still frozen.

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)

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.

The Best Toboggan Hill in the World!

Physical Education Update

I live in Ontario, Canada, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of Toronto. Like much of North America (and I hear Europe, as well), we’ve had a nasty, cold, snowy winter. From my experience, there are two ways you can handle winter. One is to hide and try to avoid it. The other is to get outside and enjoy it. With two dogs, I can’t avoid it, so I’ve chosen to embrace winter.

Practical workshop: How to maximise engagement on the playground

What’s your school’s view of break time? If your first thought is “hard work”, you’re not alone. Break time is seen as needing to be short and tightly managed by many schools as a result of poor behaviour and the pressure to cover an ever-expanding curriculum and raise attainment. The purpose of break time can be unclear; there’s a lack of clarity around how it can support school aims and children’s development.

That button was a technical one but it meant that machine learning (ML) as part of ExamSimulator became the primary vehicle for identifying correct responses in students’ PE exam answers. Until this point, as students wrote prose-based responses to PE exam questions (including extended writing essays), manually written mark schemes were the primary vehicle of comparison and machine learning was used as a back-up.
