ALT #EducatorsInAction Stop, Start, Consider… in action! Robin MacDonald (she/her) Elementary Educator “Changing the way I thought about what Health and Phys. Ed ‘should look like changed my whole practice. Removing the ‘gym uniform’ component, and offering a single user washroom space to change into clothing that students felt comfortable being active in means that our programming is more accessible, more respectful, and more inclusive. It helps set the tone that ‘you belong here’ from before class even begins. Our sense of community is improved, and my learners all see that they’re a crucial part of our program.” Explore this planning support at Ophea.net!
