Adapted
- How do you differentiate instruction for all the diverse students
in a class? There are some that have outstanding skills, others
that have little or no skill, and others with disabilities. I
don't want the students with disabilities to stand out. What are
some activities the whole class can do, or how can instruction
be differentiated? Please answer in the forum. |

Coaching
- A lot of universities and other recreations have plenty of good
club teams. The problem with club teams are they do not always
have a set head person. Does anyone have any suggestions on letting
students run a team, when they are also athletes on that same
team? It just does not seem to me like practices and things would
run as smoothly. Please share in the forum. |

Elementary
- Where do you draw the line with relationships with elementary
students? Elementary children tend to be loving and affectionate,
and they take that behavior and continue it at school. How can
you stop that affectionate behavior, and students wanting to be
your friend, appropriately? I want to be able to be a great teacher,
and a teacher that makes differences in my student’s lives. Please
share in the forum. |

Health,
Fitness & Nutrition -I know that when starting a new
work out routine, it can be hard to do because most people want
results right away, and it is not that easy. As future physical
educators, we are going to have overweight children in our classes.
We can tell them how important it is to be physically active and
how it will make them healthier, but unless they see results right
away, they might get discouraged. What do you think would be a
good way to go about handling the discouragement that could potentially
face many overweight students? Please share in the forum. |

Interdisciplinary
- PE is just as important as any other class in our school
system. If you do not learn to be physically fit and eat right,
the day will come where you die sooner than later. When that time
comes you will not need proper english, because you will not be
able to speak anyway. So I feel that PE is just as valuable as
any other subject. Please share. |

Secondary
- I have been observing classes in secondary PE and my teacher
only uses captains to pick the teams in gym class. The same girls
and guys are picked first every time and the same students are
left waiting on the line, begging for their name to be called.
I am not sure how you guys feel? Not only does this seem old fashioned,
but I believe there are several other ways of choosing teams without
causing embarrassment to almost half the class. What are your
ways or ideas of avoiding this in class? Please share in the forum.

Technology
- I just finished my field day with barely enough volunteers to
make it run smoothly. Our system (kids bringing volunteer request
forms) clearly does not work very well. Does anyone have a better
system, or a better way to ensure plenty of help for field day?
Please share in the forum.
