The below took a very long time to manifest. It is a combination of work stress, doubts about alignment of what I want with what it should it be like to be a Physical Education (PE) teacher, fatigue, etc. Amidst all these, my last impetus to just sharing my thoughts below (jumbled up thoughts!) came after a discussion with a fellow teacher in the all-consuming discussion of what PE is and what it should look like.

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.

By: Charlene Burgeson. Executive Director, Active Schools. We have a problem. Fortunately, there is a solution. The problem is that three quarters of our nation’s youth are not regularly active. Data from CDC pretty much tells the story: less than one-quarter (24%) of children 6 to 17 years of age participate in 60 minutes of physical activity every day.

Spring is a time for graduating students and their families to start planning how they will pay for higher education in the coming fall. This is incredibly important, as being educated on these types of finances can be crucial in reducing poor financial outcomes. As the end of the school year nears, we here at FACTS thought this would be an excellent time to shed a light on the importance of financial literacy – and why the sooner students start learning about it, the better.

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.

During the pandemic, I got fat. To be 100% truthful, I was always a little too fat, but I was also pretty strong (competitive powerlifter), so the extra girth was “justified.” However, as the Covid numbers kept climbing and climbing, I knew that doing a powerlifting meet, where sometimes hundreds of people are all in close proximity all day long, was not a great idea.
