As a middle school physical education teacher, my goal is for all students to have a place where they feel valued, supported and motivated to participate. For students to truly develop a sense of belonging, the educator must continue to set the tone and guide the way. But don’t get me wrong: This is much easier said than done!

It's when teachers are educationally purposeful and strengths-based in their planning, teaching, and assessment that physical education achieves the three dimensions of education in, through, and about movement.
