Educators feel the pressure all around them. As a principal, I certainly do as well. Whether it be addressing the learning loss many students experienced from these past few years, the pressures of high stakes testing, or the host of new policies and regulations that have surfaced, new initiatives are competing for limited instructional time. This leaves educators feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, searching for something to take off their plates.

The landscape of physical education has evolved significantly over the last decade and it is critical that PE teachers adapt accordingly. In order to move the profession forward and cater to student needs, we must constantly assess our curriculum and explore new pedagogies, curricula, and technology. Curriculum mapping offers teachers and schools opportunities to think big picture, explore best practices, and improve the learning process for students.

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.

While resilience can be helpful in handling challenging situations, it doesn’t shield us from the impact of hurtful words or difficult moments.

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.
