Physical education (PE) is critical to students’ overall development. However, PE is often portrayed negatively on television and in movies. Having well-trained, passionate PE teachers is essential to the success of any physical education program. Good PE teachers possess the skills to deliver a comprehensive and engaging curriculum and serve as role models, inspiring students to adopt lifelong habits of physical activity and healthy living.

A nurse at Stanford Children’s makes a lasting impact in the Latinx community, caring for children with serious heart conditions both within the hospital and abroad. The road to becoming a staff nurse in the intensive care unit at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health wasn’t easy for Monica Patino, BSN, BA, RN, CCRN. She’d wanted to be a nurse from the time she was growing up in Colombia and had the chance to shadow a nurse at a hospital when she was in middle school.

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.

Last week, for example, I highlighted a series of concerns I have about the quality of PE mark schemes. That post got a fair amount of attention so, this week, I want to follow up with some proactive ideas about how PE colleagues might wish to structure exams into their courses.

One of the unique things about my school is that we design a special sports unit for the 5th graders that will introduce them to the sports we offer in middle school. Our goal is to expose them to the majority of the sports we offer to both girls and boys. This allows them to try something new that they may fall in love with and want to try once they enter 6th grade.

HALT is an acronym for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired. These emotional states or unwanted circumstances lead to unhealthy decisions. When we’re irritable and start to reach for a vice of some kind for comfort, we should pause and ask ourselves if we’re hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. But there’s one more situation I want to add to this list: boredom.
