When a school is celebrating a sports championship, they often go big: rallies, trophies, and loud cheers all around. During Health Literacy Month this October, it’s a good time to ask: What if we celebrated health literacy like we celebrate sports? What if the entire school and community applauded students for developing the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to be health-literate individuals ?
A grieving father shared a letter he found when he searched through his daughter’s belongings after her death by suicide. She was a nurse. The letter is entitled – A Letter to My Abuser and it is written to the healthcare machine that betrayed her trust and belief that she would be cared for as much as she cared for others. In the world of healthcare, nurses tirelessly care for patients day in and day out.

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.

Community gun violence, like the mass shooting that happened this week in Lewiston, Maine impacts those closest to the tragedy, surrounding areas, and even people far beyond the physical proximity to the events. Gun violence has wide-reaching implications and affects anyone who identifies as a survivor. I know this first-hand from my father, who survived the murders of his entire family and ten neighbors when he was twelve years old.
Dear PE teachers, customers and colleagues, This is a blog post I have been wanting to write for a very, very long time. I am writing it for current PE-teacher-users of TheEverLearner.com and in the hope that prospective PE-teacher-users might read it too. We also have a job advert in play at the moment for at least two PE teachers and, therefore, I thought that sharing some of my philosophy and vision may be helpful.
Ask most elementary students what their favorite school activity is, and they will most likely respond “RECESS”! And as Physical Educators, we can, and should, serve in making recess the best possible experience for our students. Why? Because we are the movement experts. We know all about the importance of play, and we can serve our school community by sharing our expertise with everyone.

There is something magical about listening to an author do an in-person book talk about their newly published work. I had that experience when journalist/author Sarah DiGregorio was invited to celebrate Rutgers-Camden Nursing’s 50th Anniversary as a Distinguished Lecture Series speaker. Rutgers-Camden Nursing gifted Sarah’s book to the entire sophomore class, a brilliant idea that should be considered by nursing schools across the country.

During my career, I have been asked this question many times in many different forms. It may be the most difficult of all questions to answer because every situation is unique.
