This week, both Tyler and I wanted to challenge our cooking skills by going vegetarian. When we went to the store and bought our meal ingredients, I really had the intention of making vegetable soup when I realized I was getting ingredients for Minestrone soup for our first meal. With new soups, I usually like to wing it and see how it goes, and this one turned out super well!

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.

PE with Palos

By: Bo Phillips – P.E. Teacher at Salt Creek Elementary, VP of Children for IAHPERD. I’m sure we’ve all had students enter our gym saying“ can we play…?”. They wish they could choose the activity or game for the day. And sometimes they do get that whether it’s through a reward/incentive day or occasionally teachers planning choice days throughout units or trimesters.

Written by Andy Driska, Ph.D. Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Sport Coaching and Leadership Online Programs. Here’s why modifying equipment, changing playing dimensions, changing rules, and gamifying practices – all examples of task constraints – are better strategies for teaching and refining athletic skill. Perhaps the most important goal for coaches is developing the movement skills of their athletes.

Practicing self-awareness has become a popular topic in many schools and classrooms around the world. Teachers know, however, that activities reinforcing focus and mindfulness have been useful and beneficial for students for many years. Practicing self-awareness and emotional acceptance in physical education classes can be an important part of helping students to improve and maintain their health and well-being.

Body language is an outward sign of the emotional stage of the player. It works both ways – emotions change body language and body language can change emotions. That’s where solid play begins. If the athlete isn’t confident and ready, the play will be inconsistent, at best. Follow the link below for a good article on how discipline effects an athlete. .
Speaker: Shane Pill PhD, MEd, BEd, LMACHPER, FACHPER - Physical Education and Sports Researcher, Professor, Consultant, and Speaker
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.

Four years ago in mid-February, I was pulled into a meeting with another teacher and a plan was laid out for all of us to switch grade levels. One teacher in 7th grade was no longer available in the classroom, it was now our job to fill in the gaps, and I was going to a 7th-grade classroom. In a weekend, I needed to move my classroom furniture, I was to become familiar with six new rosters, AND most importantly, I needed to teach both reading and writing heavily since they are both tested in 7t

Greatness comes in many forms. Most of us look at the trophies held, or medals placed around an athlete’s neck, but greatness can be other things. It can be the student who doesn’t give up. It can be the team who finishes last but spent a whole season improving and working together. It can be an athlete who stopped before the finish line to pick up a competitor and help them through.

Substitute teachers are often at a disadvantage when walking into any classroom. It can be even more difficult for a PE teacher. There are no seating charts and, in many cases, very few ways to maintain control of an entire classroom of children no matter what their age. If you know you are going to have a substitute in your class, there are a few simple things you can do to make their job easier.

Think of all the things that have come to an end for you this year, either big or small. What do we all tend to do once that ending occurs? We look back. There are many reasons why we do this, but perhaps the most common is to remind ourselves of what we want the future to look like. Looking back allows us to reflect on what we want to repeat, improve, or avoid going forward. 2019 is coming to an end in just a few more days.

For many of us, physical education has shaped the way we feel towards the subject. At times, you may have questioned why you had to do it, especially when the weather was unfavorable. For some it may have been the relevance of the activity. Why was physical education in the curriculum? Why did you have to run mile after mile? These questions might have been asked, but not necessarily answered.

As students grow to become independent adults, there is a natural shift in priorities towards obligations, responsibilities, and a career. As priorities change, for many, physical activity and a healthy lifestyle can fall to the wayside. As an adult influence on students’ experience with health and fitness, physical education teachers can play a key role in encouraging students to make movement a priority throughout their lives.

This is a guest post from Candace DiGiacomo of Tucker Hockey. For spectators, one of the most compelling aspects of hockey is its physicality and high-tempo nature. Many hockey players also relish the physical battle, but sometimes that can manifest itself in harmful ways. On rare occasions, this could take the form of concussion, which is something that players, parents and especially coaches have a duty to handle sensibly.
