Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a National Board Certified elementary physical education teacher with more than 13 years of experience.

Relentless School Nurse

JULY 30, 2023

Illustration from Healing Meme Therapy As a seasoned school nurse, I’ve often heard the phrase, “You need thick skin for this job,” and while it’s meant to be a badge of honor, it doesn’t sit well with me. While resilience can be helpful in handling challenging situations, it doesn’t shield us from the impact of hurtful words or difficult moments.

Baseball Stories: How the Red Sox and I found each other and why I fell in love with baseball In March 2006 I happened to find myself in Boston, competing (attending with a racket) in the US Open of Rackets at the T&R on Boylston Street. For those unfamiliar with the Rackets, you can check it out here , but it's safe to say that the social side of the tournament was what had led me there, rather than the hope of winning (even one match!).

It’s a strange feeling for teachers on A-level or GCSE results day. The holidays that teachers had been hanging on for throughout July seem to be ebbing away and the spectre of visiting school/college to receive judgement in the form of exam results is the perfect disruption to whatever rest and peace has been achieved in the previous few weeks. But, managed properly and with the right approach, results days can be a very positive experience for teachers.

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.

Occam’s Razor — Search for the answer with the simplest and smallest set of elements to solve the problem at hand. Attendance is possibly the easiest and best way to ensure program success. For those in PE, you’re probably already required to track or record attendance, but is attendance being shown for anything more than just a headcount? In this, I hope to spark some ideas that will lead to changing conversations with admin, parents, students, or whoever the stakeholders are!

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.
