The Perfect Physical Education (PE) classroom – What does it look like? Is PE a guilt-trip subject for education systems to ensure there is a balance in their existence? Is it a subject that no one in a typical school takes seriously (as in 100% believe that it has a role to play and its clear on its operations)? The macro education environment seems to believe in its presence and its deserved existence but the worry for me is its micro presence in schools.

Throughout my career there has often been debate whether physical education is a practical subject, an academic subject or a combination of both. Ofsted’s current position is that it should we should focus on both declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge, specifically 1) motor competence 2) rules, strategies and tactics and 3) healthy participation.

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.

In a school era focused on technology and standardized tests, might the key to some students’ success lie not in more academic work on a device, but in the opportunity to move their bodies outdoors? Many schools today have an RTI (Response to Intervention) or WIN (What I Need) class schedule that helps provide intervention, engagement and enrichment activities for students.

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.
