Adapted - I recently watched video footage of a Paralympic volleyball event. I was very impressed by the game and began to wonder how could I incorporate this into my physical education classes. I shall soon be starting my student teaching and I would love to hear any suggestions or ideas on how I might achieve this. Please post in the forum.
  Coaching - To keep score or not has become a big deal in recreation leagues and elementary sports/games? I believe keeping score is a good thing but am interested in other ideas or opinions. Thanks. Please post in the forum.
  Elementary - I'm going on spring break next week. One of my spring break goals is to look into yoga. I've never done it, but am interested in learning and possibly teaching it in my elementary classes? Has anyone done this and if so suggestions would be appreciated. I teach K-5th graders. Please post in the forum.
  Health, Fitness & Nutrition - When I was in school, health and nutrition was not taught in gym class - I had one quarter of health in sixth grade. Is this still the way gym classes are run? Is one quarter enough for students to understand health? I believe that health and nutrition need to be incorporated in Phy Ed - this may help with the nations obesity problem. Please share in the forum.
  Interdisciplinary - I have recently had my interest in brain-based research sparked, specifically in its application to movement, fitness, and physical education. If any of you have some great references that you are willing to share so that I might continue studying in this area, I would appreciate it. I know there is a great deal of information out there. I am looking for some very concise content to use and share, perhaps in the development of an in-service for K-8 physical educators. Thanks! Please post in the forum.
  Secondary - Does anyone use a 5 point scale for daily Physical education grades ? Or any other scale - rubric ? I would like to compare them to mine to improve upon it. Thanks. Please post in the forum.
  Technology - Does anyone use heart rate monitors? How do you use asessment with them? Where did your school get the money to pay for them? Please post in the forum.
