📢 New study on Meaningful PE! All 8 features identified in the Spanish context strongly correlate with meaningfulness, which appears to be shaped by gender, class size and grade level. Thanks @uria_17, @JacobSierraDiaz & @javier_rio1

Giving Ss a voice and the opportunity for feedback in Capture the Flag. Ss turned and talked and wrote what was the biggest challenge.
It is vital to share the finding with the Ss so they know they are heard. #physed @meaningfulPE @andyvasily

If you're a high school #physed teacher and wondering what #meaningfulpe might look like for older students - look no further than this episode with Jo Bailey. In the clip, Jo reflects on how her practice has become more democratic. @SHAPEAmerica @doug_gleddie @meaningfulPE

Ss reflected on their dance unit. I collected up the data and feedback to each class with a personal video of the findings.
This shows the Ss are listened to and what they tell me valued.
Any thoughts on this?

Inspired by andy vasily’s work I created visual learning for students to better understand the concepts. They also shared how fast they thought their heart was beating after playing #Physed @MeaningfulPE #Concepts @ibpyp @MattersIb 3/3

Great question Eric! a good topic for the podcast one of these days… In my experience, PK and K love to move already (mostly) - engaging them w story and adventure works great! Fun, movement competence and personal relevance are all good! @mrzackpe is a master. @meaningfulPE

How can we open the door to exploring new possibilities with our students? What might we need to let go of in the process? Lots to unpack in this "challenging" conversation with @andyvasily #meaningfulpe #physed

Day 3 - My student teachers are loving #dpheroweek2025
We’ve been discussing the importance of advocating for #meaningfulPE & how the biggest change makers for decisions around #health & #physed are the families.
If it’s valued, it will be valued.
#FamiliesLovePE
“Welcome to the FUN ZONE!!”
This week will be packed full of fun, learning, challenge & laughter!
