Now, there are those who claim that teachers are overpaid for the amount of time they work and the number of holidays they receive. I, of course, disagree. Teachers are in a highly stressful job – a job in which they’re on-stage, performing in front of an audience, throughout their entire working day.

The Whole School Model To Physical Education & Activity

PLT4M

In most conversations about improving schools, the role of physical education is an afterthought, or worse, not even mentioned. Instead, we look at core subjects, test scores, and student performance without considering the impact of physical education and activity. But with the creation of the Whole School Model, or maybe better know as Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) Model, there is a new opportunity for physical education to have a seat at the proverbial education table.

However, that life was unsustainable, and once I was done with college, I called it quits working on the bar scene.
