by Heather Elliott

Sep 19, 2012

Hello! I am currently a senior studying to be an elementary school teacher. For my physical education class we have to come up with a year plan. Where would you start? I started with creating a calender with all the GLCE's, but how do you fit so many standards into one year?

What is everyone's beliefs on PE?

by Ashley Browe

Sep 20, 2012

There is a huge controversy about where physical education fits into the school system. I personally believe that with how our current society is, we should actually require more PE or more education about fitness. It would bring many children and young adults away from the ever growing world of technology. What is everyone's thoughts on where PE f...See More

Cultural and social effects on physical education

by Avia Kennedy

Sep 30, 2012

hysical education and physical activity are essential in today's society because of the obesity epidemic. Sometimes socioeconomic factors play a role in the value placed on physical education / physical activity. I would like to hear some ways that people have overcome this barrier in an underserved area.

Ashley Browe I certainly believe that you can incorporate a healthy lifestyle in students' lives. In high school, I lived in a small town where nearly everyone participated in sports, or else our school wouldn't have enough players. Also, teachers would incorporate physical activities into our class, since we didn't have a class offered. There are plenty of way...See More

Hi all, I work at a kids physical therapy gym and am looking to buy a climbing rope. I'm overwhelmed by the different types of ropes. Manila/ Polypro "unmanila"/ Polyplus.

Which would you recommend?

What about knots/rubber balls as resting points while climbing?

Thank you!!

But other groups used different methods? I would like to know what other teachers do and why it works for you? Also does anyone know when Common Core is coming out wit...See More

Adaptations for Kicking

by Ashley Browe

Oct 12, 2012

I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas about adjusting physical education activities for students who are in a wheel chair, especially for activities such as kicking. I would think something like a long handled implement, for example a hockey stick instead of kicking. What does everyone think?
