Is teaching Physical Education (PE) a tough job? Why I have stopped trying to be a better teacher and revert to wanting to make sense of what I am doing and why.

Reinventing the Game

It has been many months of not visiting my personal blogging habit as a way to delve more comprehensively into a job that can very easily take on an event or activity management role.

Speaker: Jeremy Kellem, M.Ed. - Educational Strategist, Former Athlete, and CEO/Founder of W.I.N. (We Impact Now, LLC)

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.
