In their compelling Op-Ed, The Trump Administration Is Betraying Our Kids and Jeopardizing Americas Future , Dr. Arthur Lavin and nurse leader Teri Mills expose the dangerous policies that threaten the very foundation of our education system. Framed under the guise of returning education to the states, these efforts include deep cuts to Title I funding, the weakening of civil rights protections, and an aggressive push toward privatizatio

They have been using their voices to raise awareness about serious public health risks, including the dangers of vaccine misinformation and misguided health policies.

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.

School sport participation can be a conversation conundrum. I know many people don't have positive experiences with sport. I reckon that the research shows this is how the coach and others 'construct' and input into the sport environment rather than being inherent to sport itself. Some don't develop the confidence in their competence to continue to pursue being physically active through sport when they enter adolesence.

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.
