Well, here’s the quiet part out loud: Far too many PE teachers are failing to integrate their content with the broader school curriculum. There is a chicken-and-egg argument over why PE teachers are looked down upon. Most PE teachers teach six, seven, or even eight classes a day with barely a moment in between.

Many PE teachers overtly teach sporting conduct including topics such as sportsmanship, gamesmanship and deviance. Furthermore, PE teachers often make reference to nuanced versions of these concepts such as fair play or etiquette and even types of deviance such as positive and negative deviance.

Having PE three times a week for 30-45 minutes for the youngest grades would be ideal, because once-a-week makes it challenging to for them to retain skill-learning. .

Often the arguments against physical education stem from games and sports being the primary focus of the class. When Cole Christopher first started teaching at MACCRAY 7 years ago, the weightlifting elective had only a handful of students. After 10th grade, physical education becomes an optional elective at MACCRAY.

I have been lamenting on this for our practise for some time, i.e. how we introduce movement evaluation cues directly as teaching cues to our learners. This is an extremely popular way of teaching for many. This brings to the forefront for me the role of cognition and its influence on how we teach.
