The gym is not the only place where students can move, interact and learn by doing. We need classrooms to be more active and engaging like the gym! Teach students how to learn and to love learning. Much of physical education is based on: An active approach; Experiential learning; and Student collaboration.

When we think of physical education classes, we automatically envision students exercising in a gym. However, the reality is that many teachers don’t have a gymnasium in which to work. That leaves them with the challenge of finding activities that students can perform in their classroom.

In addition, some students with ASD have a heightened response to sensory input (smells, sound, touch) and can become overwhelmed by too much noise or visual stimuli (think 25 basketballs all hitting the gym floor or being thrown around the room at once). The idea of the reinforcer is to teach the child (or to practice) cause and effect.

While the boys classes had a full array of sports and other activities, girls classes were mainly focused on exercise, marching, jumping rope, and being graded on the cleanliness and color of your sneakers and gym uniforms! Sports for girls were not encouraged nor promoted in those years. There were no recreational teams for young girls.

It’s not necessary to be obnoxious with your professionalism and rudely correct every parent who calls physical education “gym class.” Be patient with parents who call you the “gym teacher” – reinforce the term physical education and teach them the difference over time.
