I have decided to write a post that challenges you to consider your level of PE subject knowledge. I am doing this because many PE colleagues have mentioned to me that they value the opportunity to reflect on strengths and weaknesses and have a candid approach to subject knowledge.

In 2023, I presented a session at the SHAPE America National Convention & Expo in Seattle with Jessica Adkins, the 2022 SHAPE America Western District High School Physical Education Teacher of the Year. The session — titled “Death: Let’s Talk About It” — was based on our personal experiences navigating through the loss of loved ones. The reality of death is that it is a natural and inevitable part of life — so why are we so uncomfortable (or afraid) to talk about it?

Relentless School Nurse
DECEMBER 11, 2023
It’s disheartening to witness the trend of school nursing staff reductions across various districts, often attributed to the ending of COVID-19 funding. The potential loss of school nurse positions at the end of this school year is distressing considering the profound impact it will have on the well-being of the students. We need to plan ahead to be ready to speak out at upcoming school board meetings.

PE is powerful. Not for the potential impact it can have on children’s learning and development but because, at least in England, it is the only time all children between the age of 5 to 16 are compelled to engage in movement.
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. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

We all sleep. But we don’t always get the quantity or quality sleep needed to perform at our best. And most students probably don’t realize the power and impact of sleep on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Sleep lesson plans can empower students with the knowledge and skills to tap into the power of sleep for overall health and wellness.

<p>The landscape of youth sports has changed significantly in the last 20 years with the emergence of club sports and more athletes focused on developing elite-level skills rather than sport enjoyment. This increased focus on performance has many athletes and parents choosing to forego multi-sport participation to focus on a single, main sport as early as elementary school. </p> <p>Sport Sociologist, Jay Coakley (2009), identified elite sport specialization as one of five

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.

– Written By Dr. Timothy Davis – As we head into winter, I often see teachers dreading the long cold days when children may have minimal opportunities to play outside. However, creative minds can keep a classroom fresh and lively simply by transforming the classroom space with a theme. As a PE teacher, I often utilize classroom themes in my lessons - not only to reinforce key STEM, math, and reading concepts - but it keeps me connected to what my children are learning outside of my classroom (th

Your kids have two weeks off for the holiday break and you’re worried. What will they do? How will they spend their time? Will everyone get along? And, will they stay out of trouble? Long breaks are bittersweet. We love the extra time with our children, but the lack of routine can make for difficult days. So, before school lets out and families gather, make some plans.

The holiday season is here and that means people of all backgrounds are getting ready to celebrate their winter holidays and traditions.

Creatine is endogenously formed from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine, and is involved in muscular contraction; approximately 95% is stored in skeletal muscle, particularly type 2 fibers. Two-thirds of intramuscular creatine is phosphocreatine (PCr) and the remaining one-third is free creatine. In most individuals, the upper storage levels of creatine are approximately 160 mmol/kg of dry muscle mass.
