What a great idea! – at Chicago, IL
We are giving the gift of reading to our buddies! We created holiday cards for our younger buddies and used @Flipgrid to record ourselves reading them a holiday story.

After the start of my 9th year as a teacher/coach, I think I have figured it out …. look to add value to everyone’s life! It’s not just about the lessons we teach to educate. It’s about making everyone’s life better!

Teaching young children how to deal and combat stress is far better than teaching adults (who didn’t learn it when they were younger) the same thing.

If Trevor Lawrence throws 1+ regular season touchdown pass to Tim Tebow this season, we’ll buy every person who likes and retweets this tweet an NFL jersey of their choice. (Must be following us to claim)

If you are looking for some ideas to kick off your school year, this link will take you to a presentation I did at EPEW on Monday. I'd recommend subscribing to the EPEW channel to catch all the fantastic sessions. I'm inspired and excited for August... youtube.com/watch?v=IeA7Jhol…

HPESolutions Tip of the Week: Make a habit of asking your students two critical questions to inform your practice. “Do you know what we are learning today? Do you know why?

Physical Inactivity: The Biggest Public Health Problem of the 21st Cen – Human Kinetics us.humankinetics.com/blogs/a… Whenever you move to do anything, you’re engaging in physical activity. In contrast, exercise is voluntary physical activity undertaken for the sake of fitness.

There is no such thing as a “behavior problem” child in school. Behaviors are never the problem. They are always solutions kids pick to their problems. #thatonekid

For School districts so focused on closing achievement gaps...they need pay attention. Simply adding more reading and math instruction won’t do it. You have tried that and still get the same results.
We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. And they get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. If we can’t give students more movement, recess, and play time then we don’t understand education.

Why should S’s engage w hockey “skills” in PE? So that they can go play hockey or become good at it? To be fit or healthy? Or could it be that engaging in Hockey-related activities in PE is a means by which we enhance S’s capacity to act in & enjoy the world?

Grades often measure a student's access to time, resources and support rather than their learning progress—and that's been especially true during the pandemic. Here's why more equitable grading models must be considered now and into the future. kqed.org/mindshift/55889/why…

One recess a day is like eating once a day. Yes it's better than nothing, but it sure isn't enough for optimal health.

🎨When you can't find a #RPE graphic that fits your needs... You use your beginner @canva skills & create your own! 😅Hoping this helps my #SecondaryPhysEd Students moving forward in evaluating their own effort level during exercise. 🤯How do you use RPE in your #PhysEd class?

Wanted to organize the wonderful YouTube resources recently (or previously) created. Our attempt is at the top of this page: cbhpe.org/projector. Hopefully, when you need a specific type of resource this will add to your options a bit! #physed #healthed #YouTube #SEL #adapted
