I have been a @classdojo mentor teacher since 2014. The program is great, but it will no longer be in use in my classroom and here's why... https://t.co/KoJnp9H6hP Thanks, @balancedteacher Now that I know better, I must DO better. #PhysEd#studentbehavior#rewards
If students arenโt getting enough physical education, movement, & recess, donโt blame them when they get restless, fidgety, & canโt focus in class. Children are active by nature & need to move. Exercise enhances focus, self regulation and brain performance.
@KateRysavy@MathWithAPreis YES! I second what Kate said. While building my own house I was constantly using math! Some skills that I hadn't used in over a decade!
"Being a part of a powerful community allows students to see school as a safe, caring environment and provides support as together we navigate the unknown." #BuildRelationships#Education#SMU622
Community is often where we find joy in challenging times, and this school year, we all need more of that. Here's to building strong communities and doing more of what makes you (and your students) happy. Thank you, @edutopia#teachertwitter#edutwitter

Motivation: one of the biggest discussions we have as physical educators. This is a great blog post with lots of resources about ways to motivate students in our classes. #SMU622
โก๏ธ Just published a blog post on student motivation in #PhysEd!
๐จ๐ปโ๐ป Started as an essay but I wanted to make it as actionable as possible by sharing 9 strategies that can help support autonomy, competence, and relatedness in your lessons.

๐คผ I decided to grapple with a problem many #physed teachers have experienced:
๐ค How to provide ways for injured/ill students to engage in the day's lesson.
๐ The result is something I'm calling the Alt/Par Cards. Learn all about them here: https://t.co/fNLGMMsR1h
@hallie_sipe I'm interested in the social media aspect too. I'm not the biggest fan of social media, especially for elementary age kids. Either way they are going to be on it though so maybe as educators we can show and practice digital citizenship to a greater level. #SMU622
@bernardmason Ha! My district has a heart rate monitor system similar to this where students can see how hard they are working and have their HR projected onto a screen. They can all see all the squares but we have the option to use names or numbers for confidentially if needed. #SMU622
