Adapted - Is there any classes out there that are teaching the wheelchair sports in any form to their students? I'm a big fan of Murderball (Wheelchair Rugby) and Wheelchair basketball and wish I would have had the opportunity to learn them in my high school even though I don't meet the qualifications to actually play. I watched them for the first time when I got to college and was in shock at how much I liked each. Please post in the forum.
  Coaching - A major topic that has been brought to my attention is if student athletes should have to participate in physical education class the day of a game? I have mixed feelings about this because the coach in me wants to say let the student athletes sit out the day of a game because I do not want them to risk injury, However the teacher in me says that every student should participate in class regardless of a game that day. What do you think? Please post.
  Elementary - I give the Pres. Phys Fitness test each year and the flex. (sit and reach) is the biggest obstacle to many of my outstanding boys. We stretch each day in PE much like the reach test. I have had boys pass the other 4 areas with no problem but cannot even reach the 50th% on the S & R. Any suggestions on gaining that flexibility. Please post in the forum.
  Health, Fitness & Nutrition - Does anyone have any ideas on types of integrated warm-ups and cool downs that can get students interested in doing exercises, and help students realize the importance of warming up and cooling down the muscles before and after physical activity? Please share in the forum.
  Interdisciplinary - Physical Education teachers typically see their students so infrequently that I wonder if it is reasonable to expect us to teach more than movement-based and health promoting activities. While I am convinced that movement activities can be utilized to teach all types of academic content, I tend to think that it should be the regular classroom teachers who do more to integrate movement into their learning activities.

Today's students spend far too much time sitting passively in their classrooms and would respond with much more enthusiasm if teachers utilized movement as an instructional strategy. It seems to me that in the future, physical educators could serve a role in our schools, not only as teachers of movement skills, but also as movement resource coordinators for regular faculty. With their expert knowledge of movement, physical educators are ideally placed to be able to help other faculty develop activities to enhance the learning of all types of classroom content. What do you think? Please post.
  Secondary - I went to a high school in which we participated in bowling, golf, archery, and even some swing dancing. Are these common activities for high school P.E. classes or were my high school P.E. classes unique? Please post in the forum.
  Technology - Virtual reality is expected to have a huge impact on Physical Education. I was wondering if any physical educators out there have had the opportunity to use virtual reality in their instruction. If so, what was it and do you feel that your students will benefit from using this type of technology?Please post in the forum.
