@dave_mcpartlin I agree, the change is huge. But it isn't just the children, I think the last two or three years have seen a bigger change in parental attitudes. The expectation that schools will solve all problems, teach their child everything and the anger / attitude to staff is far worse.

My teenage son unwilling to read his novel on the holidays. I asked “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time” He called me a dork. A novel is huge, 10 pages is easy. I’m teaching him that small daily habits make things easier to achieve. And reading is #1. #reading #habits

I feel the same. Disheartening when students don’t get what you thought you covered. Cognitive science is helping me rectify this.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

Students need reps. One of the many similarities between learning and lifting is that you won't build ability if you just doing one or two reps per session.

Doing one problem the entire class is like going to the gym, doing a pushup, and calling it a workout.

@perthovalman @WAFLOfficial Agreed. Compromised.

#aflblueseagles in my opinion the lack of push in the back calls is spoiling the game. Front position should be encouraged.

Who’s for 5 days a week sports uniform for all students? Would you ask tradie to wear a business suit? We want kids to exercise more, but many are wearing inappropriate clothing. #5daysportsuniform #physed #schooluniform

What I teach in PE in 4 words. As we discuss grades, results, tests, tech, literacy and numeracy, keep space in your day for sport and PE. #happyandhealthy #physed

I teach the overarm throw a lot, but still need to more. It teaches kids how to use their whole body for added balance and force. This is then transferred to other sports and activities. #physed #peteacher

@Mr_PhysEd I am teaching science this year as well as PE. Really enjoying the classroom environment. Grateful for the opportunity to extend my skills and experience, as well as seeing all my students in a different light.

[Ross Bridgeman @PE_MrB]

End of semester self reflection. The responses to our values are terrific!

[Ross Bridgeman @PE_MrB]

@mrrobbo I don’t. I play something similar which is more of a net game with throwing. Not many sports where the purpose is to aim for the opponents.

Does your school have reports that enable + and - grades? Recently finished reports, would have liked to have had the option #physed

I step back and let my student captains take charge. Leaders in the making. Gotta give them the chance. #physed #leadership #primarype
