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.

As children are back in school and the days get chillier, it’s a reminder to protect our families against viruses this upcoming season. For the first time this fall, babies in the United States will have access to shots to protect against a virus that surged across the country last winter: respiratory syncytial virus , or RSV. Everyone over 6 months of age will also be able to get updated shots to protect against COVID-19 and influenza.

We cannot gun-proof our children, so child-proofing our guns is the most important step we can take immediately to save lives. That was the crux of the message that I gave at my school board meeting last night. I added some introductions and acknowledgments and unfortunately went over my 3-minute time limit. A very loud buzzer jolted me because I was so deeply involved in delivering my message, that I lost track of time.

Dear PE teachers, I wanted to take the opportunity to write a series of ideas that might help you to unite your teaching with GCSE PE with the experiences that students receive in GCSE biology. As you will probably know, there are a whole series of concepts that students learn on both courses but – frustratingly for them – they are taught in slightly different ways with slightly different language or understanding.

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.

The Student Pledge Against Gun Violence or “I Pledge” is an important opportunity to involve students in school safety through the power of a promise to never settle disputes with a gun. According to the K12 School Shooting Database, the majority of school shootings are from an escalation of disputes. Effective school safety measures should be layered and include the voice of the community, especially the students.

In order to maximise their potential, and thrive under whatever challenges the game provides, players must be creative, independent decision-makers. Therefore, a crucial component of coaching is helping players learn to think and act for themselves. This, in turn, requires us to give them autonomy in their developmental journeys. Below, we discuss ways to empower the kids we coach, and encourage them to take ownership of their learning and development.
