Adapted
- As a student when training to be a Physical Education teacher,
you cannot qualify as a teacher if you are not in good physical
condition. We accommodate students with various disabilities in
our PE classes by modifying activities, and rightly so. I am interested
in opinions regarding teaching with a disability (e.g. if the
teacher suffers an injury that affects him/her long term)? Does
this mean that we are no longer eligible to teach PE? Do you think
this is a form of discrimination? Please answer in the forum. |

Coaching
- With the importance of Physical activity in schools, through
all levels being even more emphasized, should schools start introducing
sports like cricket to the syllabus to go along side the typical
basketball, baseball, football and soccer lessons? This surely
would be beneficial to everyone, both teachers and students, in
being able to implement different skills of practice? Please share
in the forum. |

Elementary
- I am looking for some great activities for a large group (about
40-50 students) with mixed ages K-3. This is an after school program
that uses my gym for about 20 minutes - the chaos needs to end!!
We need something safe yet keeps the kids active. Any ideas would
be great. Please share in the forum. |

Interdisciplinary
- In my experience soccer has been a rather small unit
in physical education. Now it's my opinion that soccer is one
of the best sports to play in phys ed because it involves a lot
of running, and is a lot more enjoyable then running around a
track. So I don't know why soccer is always a smaller unit then,
say, volleyball. When I was in high school we always did a 4-5
week volleyball unit whereas soccer was only about 2 weeks, if
that. If anyone has any opinions that would be great. Please share. |

Secondary
- I am currently a student at Slippery Rock University majoring
in PE. When it comes to swim class in high school it is very difficult
to make the students dress for class. It is usually the girls
that don't like to dress for swimming because they don't want
to mess up their hair or make-up, so what would be the best way
to handle this situation? Please share in the forum.

Technology
- My school district is looking into piloting a Smart Board in
the Physical Education program to integrate more technology. I
volunteered to take on this new piece of equipment thinking Smart
Boards are interactive hands-on, minds-on technology tools. Has
anyone used a smart board in the Elementary physical education
setting? What types of things have been done? Please share in
the forum.
