Father’s Day Musings

My first reaction in my head was, "You don’t want to be a PE teacher." Yet, I am a PE teacher. Why am I telling my son not to be a PE teacher when that has become my chosen profession? I sincerely love what I do, yet I was advocating for him not to do it. Why the disconnect?

Ki-O-Rahi and Māori Mythology

Ki-O-Rahi is a beautiful game that symbolizes the Māori mythology of Rahi, and the Māori creation myth, and the spiritual journey one makes upon death. Thus, the game is not a conflict but a cosmic dance between creation, journey, challenge, and return.

Help! My gym is unavailable!

Take a look at the At-Home Lessons if you have to do your PE in the classroom and you need some extra help coming up with some ideas. I remember how tough it was trying to make engaging content for less than ideal settings. I hope that you can take some ideas from my lessons and use them in your classroom.

Why You Have to Repeat Sports

When I teach a sport, I absolutely repeat that sport for several weeks or longer, depending on how long they are studying a people or culture in the classroom.

Why I Don't Like to Repeat Games in PE

The novelty has worn off

They learning something new in class

The students don’t know what they like until they play it

The focus of the game becomes less about fun and more about the competition
