As the principal of a preK-12 school in remote Eastern Oregon, one of the lessons I’ve learned is this: A school staff that is cared for is a staff that will be ready to take on any obstacle that comes their way. We all know that stress in the education field is at an all-time high. School administrators must figure out ways to support staff members, so they don’t join the growing number of teachers who have decided to leave the profession.

The Perfect Physical Education (PE) classroom – What does it look like? Is PE a guilt-trip subject for education systems to ensure there is a balance in their existence? Is it a subject that no one in a typical school takes seriously (as in 100% believe that it has a role to play and its clear on its operations)? The macro education environment seems to believe in its presence and its deserved existence but the worry for me is its micro presence in schools.

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.

Physical education classes offer unique opportunities for students to explore fitness, health, and wellness. Many PE classes at the high school level look to take essential steps to transition students from school to an adult life that still values and prioritizes personal fitness and wellness. As a result, many schools encourage and support students in designing personal fitness plans in physical education to build and bridge important concepts around fitness and exercise.

Mental health challenges among students are a growing concern and can significantly affect their daily lives. Findings from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey show that in 2021, more than 4 in 10 adolescents felt persistently sad or hopeless, and nearly 1 out of 3 adolescents experienced poor mental health. Some students may use e-cigarettes (also called “vapes”) because they think it will help them feel better.
