Amid growing evidence that participation in exercise and other “normal” activities facilitates recovery from concussion, students should be allowed to return to PE class even while still experiencing concussion symptoms. In the March issue of JOPERD, a new return-to-physical education (RT-PE) process is presented that helps to return students safely and successfully to PE while they are recovering from concussion and are still symptomatic.

In recent years, it has been challenging for physical education teachers to build specific learning communities. Recent research has started to emerge on physical educators’ use of social media. Social media may serve as an option for physical educators to continue their professional development and stay connected with other educators. However, it is unclear how physical educators utilize, interact, and seek help in social media as a professional learning community.

For Tammy Varnum, being able to combine the best of both worlds — the social aspect students enjoy with their buddies and the daily practice of their physical skills — was the motivation to bring Unified Physical Education (PE) to Adams Middle School in Brentwood. The program is designed to promote and foster social inclusion and positive interactions for students with a variety of abilities through specially designed physical activities and team sports.

 

KU News

A study from the University of Kansas shows that physical education teachers greatly influence students’ perception of the class and its purpose and also influence how likely they are to remain physically active later in life. Research has long shown that as students get older, their physical activity level drops. Thus, high school can be the last chance to encourage students to be physically active and encourage a healthy lifestyle.

University of New Mexico College of Education & Human Sciences (COEHS) faculty Karen Lux Gaudreault and Victoria N. Shiver, coordinators of the Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) program, are bringing that spotlight to physical educators.
