The National Physical Education Standards Task Force is interested in informally collecting student voice to inform their thinking as they begin revising SHAPE America’s National Standards for K-12 Physical Education. Currently, we invite preK-12 physical educators and university faculty to collect student responses for the Student Voice Survey. The survey includes just one question and doesn’t ask for any personally identifiable information. The deadline for completion is June 15.

In Virginia, local educators worked during the COVID-19 pandemic to make sure students stayed healthy both physically and mentally. Creekside Elementary School physical education teacher Joel Tise said their team quickly got together after the pandemic to figure out how to reach students virtually. He said they had to get creative, and he is grateful for all the inspiration they found through the online teacher community.

According to new research, physical activity in childhood can help youngsters develop their emotional and behavioral regulation skills, which play a crucial role in their academic achievement. “Physical activity is linked to emotional regulation in early childhood and behavioral regulation in middle childhood,” the study authors wrote. “This relationship predicts academic attainment, suggesting that early and sustained physical activity is an important element in children’s development and schooling.”

Emotional regulation can be a particularly challenging skill for tweens and teens. At this point in their development, they can demonstrate social and emotional changes that may impact their ability to emotionally regulate in the school setting and that can affect grades, executive functioning, and overall health. When physical, academic, social, and peer pressures and fluctuations pile on, many tweens and teens struggle, to the point where they can feel like their lives are out of control.

The pandemic has disrupted fundamental aspects of our lives … and some of those changes may remain in place going forward. PE class is another aspect of our “old lives” that may have experienced irrevocable change. “We hope that through this horrible situation we can raise the value and role that health and PE teachers play in the school,” says Michelle Carter, director of educational content and programs at SHAPE America. “There’s a connection between the mind and the body. Now more than ever, that connection is something we must celebrate.”
