My first book is now available to download on #AppleBooks! I hope that it offers some support to those working in #PE that want to integrate technology into their classrooms. https://t.co/4BCUpuHcsH

I belong - A strong sense of belonging boosts children's confidence, encourages engagement, fosters resilience, and promotes social skills. When students feel accepted and valued, they thrive! 🌱 #EducationNotActivity

This is what community looks like to me. #EducationNotActivity

Movement Matters at RCHK #EducationNotActivity

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

Systems - These underpin every well run classroom and are at the core of every productive team. Helping Ss develop the skills required to create their own is an invaluable life lesson. #EducationNotActivity

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

Show more, do more - There is always a risk of “playing it safe” in what we do with Ss. If we limit our expectations in class then the Ss will too. Be guided by their effort, not their age. Show more, do more. Show less, do less. Simple. #EducationNotActivity

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

Pressure - As adults we accept it being part of life’s journey, while at the same time sheltering children from it. I want my Ss to feel it, understand and embrace it. By building a healthy relationship with pressure now, they are better prepared later. 💎 #EducationNotActivity

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

Your why - Understanding your why in education can go a long way to keeping you professionally on track when presented with trying or testing times. The richness you give to what you do is the richness you will get back from it too. #EducationNotActivity

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

Trust - What does it look like and do the Ss understand it? My experience tells me yes and I put that to the test as often as I can. Make it part of your daily conversation and show them through the agency you offer that you know they won't let you down. #EducationNotActivity

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

Classrooms - The environment we create should speak to who we are as educators and who we want our Ss to be as learners. What does yours say about you? #EducationNotActivity

@HopkinTeach @StCyresSchool @nasen_org @AppleEDU @HomeCourtai @ChrisHallPE @peterclewis @1jh1 Brilliant work gentlemen. Valuable insights shared into the possibilities for tech use in PE. Seth is an absolute credit to your school! 👏

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

Absolutely brilliant! 🤩🧠 #EducationNotActivity

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

I. Love. This. #EducationNotActivity

Always good to know…

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

Set the tone - In an environment where every minute counts there’s always the pressure/temptation to shorten or skip class routines. Only once you make that error of judgement do you realise just how valuable they are to set your Ss body and mind in order. #EducationNotActivity

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

Student Coaches - It’s one thing to do something correctly, but something entirely different teaching it to someone else. My Ss are being given a glimpse into my world through this new leadership role and on this evidence I fear my job may be at risk! 😅🤩 #EducationNotActivity

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

A beautiful day at #RCHK ☀️

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

This is fantastic! 🤩

[John Bustin @mrbustin22]

Thanks to @andersonHPE and @WannaTeachPE for this awesome warm up game. First to get 3 cones in their corner is the winner @KCAKentville

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

@nikkiclotfelter @SherylDCollins @PowderSpringsES I love this. Very well done! 👏

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

@MrWildePE As a product professionally of NI I never doubted that there were those that care but I question whether the message is really getting across or not. This is such a long standing issue and the findings of the report appear to suggest that little has changed.

[Paul Smart @ProfePaulPE]

Unfortunately such a poor reflection of an otherwise fantastic system. Old attitudes and too often the poor execution of PE mean for many it is still viewed as an educational irrelevance. Who in education in NI is using their voice to make a case for PE? Things need to change.

Most Northern Ireland primary schools are not providing the recommended amount of physical education classes, @ETI_news says https://t.co/QWcmkvjBDB
