How do you keep track of physical education equipment for your school or district? When I was teaching, I had a spiral notebook that I used to write down all of our equipment each year. When I became a health and physical education (HPE) coordinator, we used electronic documents and eventually created a spreadsheet with equipment inventory data for all of the schools in our district.

The headline has haunted me all weekend. I cannot stop thinking about this unimaginable scenario. A six-year-old child is angry and dysregulated, has access to an unlocked and loaded firearm, and brings it to school. This is not a far-flung script for a crime show, this is real life and it happened this past Friday at an elementary school in Newport News, Virginia. .

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.

What’s Up PhysEd Friends! If you’re anything like me before you started teaching you didn’t really know much about jumping rope. To be honest, I didn’t know a single jump rope trick before I became a teacher. I would have never thought that I could spend 3-4 weeks teaching jump rope to students. Now that […].

My Camden, New Jersey school district is one of two in NJ that is instituting a temporary return to universal masking following our break.

Who says cheerleaders aren’t tough? (Not me, by the way). In fact, the high-flying flips, tricks and acrobatics they perform gives cheerleading one of the highest catastrophic injury rates of any sport in North America. And here’s another example of cheerleader-toughness. It’s a quick video clip of a cheerleader tackling a football player (who is in full pads) in order to protect his squad-mates who were in a vulnerable pyramid formation.

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.

If you’ve been watching the World Cup of soccer, you’ll have observed many occasions in which players, although seemingly untouched, have dropped to the ground and writhed in pain for many minutes. They’re “diving,” you might say! Perhaps, but I have a more likely explanation. It’s the vuvuzelas! Vuvuzelas, a fixture in South African soccer, are plastic horns based on the traditional kudu horns used to call distant South African villagers to meetings.

Parents sacrifice things for their children all the time; sleep, money and time are the obvious things they relinquish. Parenting is a sacrificial job, no doubt about it. But sometimes parents must learn to sacrifice above and beyond and in ways that they had not anticipated. These five sacrifices are ones that all parents should.

Is competition good or bad? Competition is often viewed as bad for kids. Competition can bring pressure, stress, and disappointment for some kids. It can also have a negative impact on class climate, as some students will use competition to control others by putting others down. Competition, however, is an important part of life and it can be used in class to teach kids about sportsmanship, hard work, and empathy.

I was inspired by NASN leaders, Beth Mattey and Nina Fekaris , both past-presidents who made it their missions to lift up the work of school nurses across the country. A key message from both school nursing leaders that I heard loud and clear was that we needed to tell our own stories.

It has long been argued that teaching and coaching must be based on sound, rigorous research and systematic evidence of what works, how and why it works, where it works and for whom it works (Slavin, 2002). Teaching and coaching often relies on idiosyncratic (Mosston & Ashworth, 2008) and incomplete, inaccurate or 'folk' understanding of research and evidence, what Green (2000) described as 'everyday philosophies' of practice.
