Albion away days. 💛💙 Where in the world are you watching us from today? 🤔 @Kissimmee 🌍

@WillWestphal @andyvasily @meaningfulPE @GaryZDPE Thanks @WillWestphal we’ve done a lot of the last few years to build trust between students and teachers do that they can be honest. There honesty really helps us grow as a PE program.

@RhysMeredith23 @andyvasily @meaningfulPE @GaryZDPE Intriguing that no one really brought their strategy preferences. When my Ss get to pick between LXs with differing structure that’s a piece that fits in. Also appreciated the honesty about weather. Outside of that I have Ss who have similar shares.

Our students chose whether to try the team game of handball or the personal pursuit of tennis. We asked them why? - Its more fun - I can be with Friends - The right challenge Any feedback? @andyvasily @meaningfulPE @GaryZDPE #physed

@BHunterinBmore @andyvasily @meaningfulPE @GaryZDPE Thanks @BHunterinBmore yes this is certainly something we can do. That is a great question to ask to establish meaning for students in PE.

@RhysMeredith23 @andyvasily @meaningfulPE @GaryZDPE Terrific way to allow students to express themselves, especially b/c it’s anonymous. I wonder if, instead of asking a question that reflects on the past you could pose one that moves the class forward: -what made this engaging for you that we could carry over to other units?

@GaryZDPE @andyvasily @meaningfulPE Thanks @GaryZDPE we are going to continue this. Give the students exposure to a personal pursuit and a team game for 2 lessons each. Then they will pick which one they will focus on for the final 2 lessons. Golf and hockey coming up! Which will they prefer??

@RhysMeredith23 @andyvasily @meaningfulPE Looking at the sticky notes, I see several students justifying their choices - great way to keep the rigor of your questioning high! Of course, love the social skills objective around showing respect 💙🧡 Amazing work, as always Rhys!!

#PhysEd Question of the Day Where are you buying your equipment these days? #PhysEdQotD

@GingerAaron I call it PE as a force of habit. But officially it’s called PHE for Physical and Health Education.

#PhysEd Question of the Day Do you call it "PE", "Phys Ed", "Physical Education", "Gym", or something different? #PhysEdQotD

#PhysEd Question of the Day What are you currently teaching? #PhysEdQotD

@GingerAaron Twice this year so far, 0 times last school year. Think is lot less that Homerooms. I look forward to feedback ⚽️⚽️

#PhysEd Question of the Day How often does school administration come into your gym or class space? Is this more or less than they typically visit other techers? #PhysEdQotD

@GingerAaron A big gym which could be set up into flexible spaces for classes.

#PhysEd Question of the Day If your classroom funds were unlimited, what is the first thing you would purchase? #PhysEdQotD

@GingerAaron Certainly

#PhysEd Question of the Day Are parents relying too much on schools for things that should be taught at home? #PhysEdQotD

@ThePEUmbrella I give the instruction and positively praise the students who are following the instruction and showing good behavior.

Other than a whistle, what are some of your best tips for stopping a class of pupils in PE when you're on a playground or field? #edutwitter #primarype

@GaryZDPE @passion4physed2 Something I find hard is whether to do a variety of sports or focus longer on one? What are your thoughts on this? More variety? or greater focus?

Have questions for an upcoming Q&A episode of the podcast? Drop them here and @passion4physed2 and I would love to discuss them on the show 👇 #physed

@ThePEUmbrella My thinking behind this is that I can create fair teams with enabling the students to have input and a voice. Also no one is ever picked last.

@RhysMeredith23 What's your approach for this for time efficiency? Just calling names out etc?

You're delivering a PE lesson in primary school. You need to get the children into teams of say 4/5. What's your go to method that works quickly, efficiently and keeps the flow of the lesson? #edutwitter #physed #primarype

@ThePEUmbrella So crucial! I would also at the start of the year ask them for what sports, games and activities they want to do. Then if it fits try and include there views. Asking for and listening to student voice helps increase engagement and gives students a greater sense of ownership.

@RhysMeredith23 Yes and key word here being 'modified' ☺️

You're back after Easter and look into your [insert PE scheme] scheme of work. You see your year 3 class have a half term of Tennis. Yay or nay? Positives? Negatives? Anybody actually have this lined up?

@GingerAaron Getting students fully involved in there learning giving them a voice, listening to it and choices about what they do.

#PhysEd Question of the Day What is one thing that makes a quality Physical Education program truly effective? #PhysEdQotD
