PE Class - Changes with Compassion and Heart
A school district in Wellsville, New York noticed that students were showing up for PE class unprepared. They took a critical look into the issue using empathy to conceptualize the causes and make the changes. Read their story on Jennifer Gonzalez's Blog, Cult of Pedagogy.
Here's a quote from the story relating PE to the Literacy standards.
"Meanwhile, the Common Core State Standards were just beginning to settle into New York State schools and classrooms. Teachers were grappling with the instructional shifts that underpin the Core. Many struggled to define how literacy could support learning outside of English, math, science, and social studies as well. PE teachers, in particular, needed the most support."
I was SO ENLIGHTENED by their approach! This article is a MUST READ for ELA and PE teachers!
