I thought the PE2020 National Initiatives was interesting to read. The proposal really looks at physical education and staying active in many numerous ways. The most significant piece that caught my attention was section B: Connecting K-12 Physical Education Programs and Community Physical Activity Programs. I think this is a very crucial piece when looking at ways to engage children to being physically active. I agree with Larry Bevilacqua with family involvement and promoting physical activity. Connecting physical education through the community is fun and rewarding. At my school we “Jump for Diabetes” and families are invited in through the school day to take part in the jump. It is a huge success and it raises awareness as a school and community. After school activities hat involve sports, games, and physical activities should be available for all children. If a student needs financial assistance it is important like the PE2020 states to help that child be a part of a physical active environment. I also really support the idea that the Director of Physical Activity will hand out toolkits to promote “anytime, any path, anyplace”. If families and communities across the nation were on board, we as a country would benefit immensely. |
