Please don't remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas. This will not help them be successful long term and will cause them to hate school in the short term. Be strength focused more than weakness focused.

[Mark J. Westpfahl @MarkJWestpfahl]

Is there a TikTok trend where students are reading books and primary sources, studying maps, analyzing artifact's and helping their classmates out?

Can we make that trend?

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

This is important! 🙌

@SWMN_SportsGuy It is one of the few new additions to the games this year! Skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing... plus new events created within existing sport games!!

[Samantha @mrsbaloun4]

So important... high school athletes can benefit from the same ideas!!

Arguably the most important piece I’ve ever written — on mental health in women’s hockey, featuring insight from an NCAA player, a PWHPA and Team USA athlete, and an NWHL goalie:

We’re partnering with the @AASMOrg in supporting the inaugural Student Sleep Health Week, highlighting the importance of healthy sleep habits.

Did you know that 92% of parents state that sleep has a direct impact on their children’s physical health? #StudentSleepWeek

Education and Intelligence are different from one another.

Intelligence isn't the ability to remember and repeat, like they sometimes teach you in school.

Intelligence is the ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use our knowledge to adapt to new situations.

[Samantha @mrsbaloun4]

I wish I could inform more of how important movement and physical literacy is for our youth! #PEforEveryone

[Joey Feith @JoeyFeith]

Oh and just in case you're like "well, kids need to catch up on their academic learning!":

1. #PhysEd is an academic subject, ya ding-dong.
2. Keeping #physed in the curriculum has no negative impact on academic learning.

Don't assume. Know!
