It has taken a little longer this year, but my #OneWord has finally found me! Happy New Year everyone!
Terrifying read about what is happening to public education.
A true pioneer in the field! Next time I see you, @bophillips10.bsky.social, I would love to chat about your program. We did something similar with 3rd-5th "at-promise" students (inspired by the book Spark by John Ratey). #EduSky #ExerciseGrowsBrainCells #PhysEd #SEL
Honored to be featured in NEA Today’s article, “How Students Literally Work Out Behavior Problems.” This piece highlights innovative ways to support student growth, & I’m excited to share my perspective alongside others passionate about edu/wellbeing. #PhysEd #HealthEd

What a quick and simple way to have students reflect and provide feedback. #MeaningfulPE #PhysEd @steamwellness.bsky.social @tallkelly.bsky.social @bophillips10.bsky.social
Students in G1 - 5 generated 'What matters most to them in PE'.

Their answers closely align with the Meaningful Framework.

We will unpack what each of these look like in PE and support the students.

Hello #bluesky!! This is my first post! I teach #adaptedpe in MN and I’ll be posting about my favorite adapted PE, #physed, and #unifiedpe hacks along with fun tidbits from conferences! I love presenting, keynoting and meeting people who love increasing inclusion in their Physed classes!
Welcome!!!! Everyone out there make sure to follow this legend! #APE #EduSky Jen is the 🐐❤️
Got to have fun today: "The Legend of RPS" read-aloud to some of my former Ss, plus introducing Bal-a-vis-x to some second graders! #PARP #RetiredLife #HPE  #PhysEd #EduSky
We also allowed Ss to stand in the back if that is what their bodies needed.
I think it is a fantastic policy statement. The tricky part is making sure the right people read and adhere to it.
