Today I want to share with you some tips on how to find funding for your physical education program. There are three main areas of focus I find myself formulating around when it comes to finding funding.
I’ve been using pedometers in my classes for years now. In fact, over five years, and I thought I knew why I was using them to benefit the students, but until recently I discovered I was all wrong.
Classroom and behavior management is the key to creating a thriving learning environment for our students. Without great classroom and behavior management, we cannot give our students what they need to become physically literate. An engaging student learning environment is a byproduct of a physical educator’s investment and commitment to becoming a master manager and never settling for anything less than their best.
In this episode of the PE Express podcast, Dr. Robert Pangrazi explains the three levels of Physical Education and why they differ. He also shares why it’s important to support each other and how criticizing colleagues is hurtful to the profession.
I’m a firm believer in the old saying most skills are caught not taught. As physical educators we teach a lot of skills, most of these skills being physical skills. So what consistent foundations are we building in our yearly instruction to make these skills more easily caught while being taught?
What is a teacher? Can you define a teacher in one word? I think this simple exercise can help us target our efforts as teachers and help us maximize our impact on students.
Roller skating is one of those units that my students look forward to every year. It doesn’t matter if it’s the first week of school. I’ll have kids coming up to me asking me, Mr. Graham when are we going to roller skate? And typically we do that at the end of January, so you know the enthusiasm is really high when they’re asking for it. They want to know when it’s going to take place at the beginning of the school year, and I really like that unit because it’s a break from more of my traditional teaching units, and it’s an opportunity for me to invite parents into the gym, which, to be honest, really gives many of them a perspective that may be very different from their own childhood PE experiences.
Questioning techniques are vital to helping students to understand concepts and strategies within physical education. This podcast explores the importance of including questioning techniques as well as my top teaching strategy to allow for more natural questioning!
Technology is a major part of our lives and the lives of our students. What if you challenge yourself and your students to unplug for 24 hours? On today’s PE Express podcast, I’m going to share with you an unplugging challenge to get your students to step out of their comfort zone.
