October is Health Literacy Month. SHAPE America defines health literacy as, “…the ability to access, understand, appraise, apply and advocate for health information and services in order to maintain or enhance one’s own health and the health of others.” As health educators, it is important to teach our students to be health literate. Health-literate students can understand how their decisions affect their health and well-being and the health and well-being of those around them.

Inquiry episodes are challenging One of the most challenging aspects of taking a games-based approach (GBA) to the teaching of games and sports within physical education are the inquiry episodes. In attempting to make children’s thinking and understanding about their game play visible, you are essentially creating uncertainty within your teaching.

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.

In sports, athletes often find themselves in high-stakes situations where the outcome of a contest can hinge on a single moment. Emotions run high, and the pressure to perform is immense. However, one controversial aspect that continues to grow in modern sports is the act of "flopping" — when an athlete simulates being fouled or injured to gain an advantage.
