RQES Free Access Article

Read about a study that was done to compare the workplace experiences of physical education and adapted physical education teachers while also considering biological sex, in this article from the December issue of Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport.

 

Learn about the findings that both relate to and extend role socialization theory in explaining how adapted physical education teachers are socialized through the workplace in comparison to their physical education counterparts. Practical implications for preservice and inservice teacher preparation and future research directions are discussed in this free access article.

SHAPE America

The Roadmap to Adapted Physical Education is a new free interactive course on the SHAPE America Online Institute that will guide you through the core components of adapted physical education services and how to apply these components to your program. The self-paced course allows participants to reflect on their own physical education program through critical thinking tasks and engagement activities.

Developed by SHAPE America through Cooperative Agreement CDC-RFA-DP16-1601 with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

News Around the Nation

For adults, the goal of exercise is often to shed some pounds, but new research from the University of Georgia suggests the objective should be different for kids. Physical education should focus on improving students’ physical skills, knowledge of the benefits of exercise and motivation to be active. The goal should be to build students’ cardiorespiratory endurance, a measure of how well the body handles long periods of exercise—not to help them lose weight, according to the study’s authors.

Before COVID-19, you could find Amanda Browning smiling and having fun getting her Weaver Academy students physically active in the gym. But these days the health and physical education teacher is having to take a different approach. She only “sees” her students on her computer screen during her virtual classes. She has had to get creative with them to get her students up and moving.

 

EdSurge

Truly 2020 was a difficult year for so many reasons. As the executive director of the Association of Latino Administrators & Superintendents, I am acutely aware of the pandemic’s impact on our most marginalized and students of color—and of the mammoth efforts of school leaders to support them and continue providing them with an education in what seemed to be an impossible situation. This year has drawn more attention to equity issues and forced our nation to deal with them head-on.

It seems paradoxical, but from a distance, many teachers are forming even closer connections with students and their families, which has strengthened their ability to engage them through personalized learning practices and effectively address their academic and social-emotional needs.

Imagine trying to work out in a crowded living room, with no exercise equipment besides rolled-up socks and soup cans. For many students in California, that’s what physical education class looks like these days. Since campuses closed in March, P.E. teachers are scrambling for creative ways to keep students physically active — with no gymnasiums, sports fields or playgrounds — at a time when experts say students’ physical and mental health is paramount.
