Had a great day advocating for PE in Springfield. Thank you to all the Senators and Representatives that sat down and listened. Thank you too to those who filled out the witness slip. It passed the house committee! Keep advocating #shapeupIL

As a disabled person who danced from 5 to 18 and taught hip hop for 3 years, this is how it’s done. And it’s actually not hard for a teacher to adapt choreography and make it work seamlessly too. I love this.

"Learning should be seen as a qualitative change in a person's way of seeing, experiencing, understanding, conceptualizing something in the real world - rather than as a quantitative change in the amount of knowledge someone possesses." -Paul Ramsden (Australian educator)

Just added this to my gym. Does anyone else use a calm down corner or something like this? Any suggestions or tips?

I will send a free copy of this book by me, @ecenteio & @DrTomQ to one person who replies below (or RT) interesting content about before&after school PA programs. I’ll randomly select one person at the end of the week.

Is there anyone who uses or knows of a teacher that uses the TPSR (teaching personal and social responsibility) fully with their classes?

The TPSR Alliance is having a free virtual conference July 22 & 23. If you want to register please do so by July 2nd. Find out about how teaching personal and social responsibility through physical activity is being done in the US and throughout the world. Hope to see you!
