As the principal of a preK-12 school in remote Eastern Oregon, one of the lessons I’ve learned is this: A school staff that is cared for is a staff that will be ready to take on any obstacle that comes their way. We all know that stress in the education field is at an all-time high. School administrators must figure out ways to support staff members, so they don’t join the growing number of teachers who have decided to leave the profession.

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 examine the role of technology in physical education and explore best practices for maximizing student learning without letting technology become a distraction (or worse, get destroyed) in the hustle and bustle of a PE classroom.

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.
