Physical & Health Education (PHE) Teachers

Generative and collaborative Physical Education Techers

Are you wondering how to make your PHE classes more inclusive? Are you curious how you can manage the important work of building knowledge and understanding, planning for performance, and assessment while keeping students physically active? Do you want to work with colleagues to problem-solve dilemmas in your context?
 
This community of PHE educators will enable you to answer those questions and more! Throughout the coming year we will aim to respond to the group’s professional development needs and curiosities to ensure we are responsive to the identities represented in our group.
 
We recognize that some of the most powerful professional learning happens when we collaborate, are exposed to new ways of thinking about things, and share resources and ideas through dialogue. Join the team! We are better together for the good of our students.
