Can play be exercise? Does exercise have to be associated with a negative connotation to be effective? Traditional approaches in physical education can lack joy, choice and relevance to students lives. Students disengage when they dont enjoy the process or understand the why. The negative association with fitness can affect students perception of physical activity and the value of physical education.

During that session, I invited attendees, school nurses from across the country, to participate in a survey designed to capture their experiences, attitudes, and training needs related to firearm violence prevention in schools.

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.

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.
