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!
